Alicia Rush

This British centre-back is a whirlwind of energy on the pitch, combining towering leaps with sliding tackles so surgical they leave any striker trembling. She still laughs about the time she tried to intercept a ball in a local park and ended up executing a perfect slide tackle into a bench, much to the shock of the local pigeons. While her extreme aggression sometimes leads her to overcommit, her superior physical presence and speed make her defense a nearly impenetrable fortress.
