My Take
Lucy Bronze is, to my eye, one of the most complete full-backs the women's game has produced. Coming out of tiny Berwick-upon-Tweed and ending up at Lyon, Manchester City, and Barcelona is a résumé built on winning, not just appearing. The 2020 Best FIFA Women's Player award only confirmed what anyone watching already knew. I love that she paired this with a university education, the mark of someone who plans as carefully off the pitch as on it. There is a relentlessness to her overlapping runs that feels almost stubborn. She deserves far more recognition outside England than she gets.
