My Take

Ellen White deserves far more recognition outside England than she gets. Becoming the record goalscorer for the England women's national team is not luck, it is the reward of someone who out-worked everyone around her, having climbed from the Arsenal academy through Chelsea, Manchester City and beyond. What I respect most about pure goalscorers is that their value is brutally measurable, and White's number speaks plainly. Her trademark binocular celebration gave the role a bit of personality too. She retired and changed her name, but those goals are permanent. To me she's the model of a craftsman striker, and that earns my respect.

Overview

Ellen Toni Convery (née White; born 9 May 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward. She is the record goalscorer for the England women's national team.
