ALEX OXLADECHAMBERLAIN LIVERPOOL It was never gonna be easy for The Ox to break back into Liverpool’s starting XI after such along spell on the sidelines, but the EFL Cup is an awesome chance for him to impress Jurgen Klopp! He started against MK Dons in the last round, and would love to be the difference maker against the team he was sold by just over two years ago! DID YOU KNOW ? Since he left Arsenal for Anfield in 2017, The Ox has never started a game v his old side! GABRIEL MARTINELLI ARSENAL If there’s one reason for Arsenal fans to get really excited about this clash, it’s that it gives them another chance to watch Martinelli in action! He’s looked more like a £60 million player than…

FIRS T BARÇA GOAL! MAY 1, 2005 Back when massive mullets were in fashion, a 17-year-old Lionel Messi scored his first-ever goal for the club! It came against Albacete at the Nou Camp – Brazil legend Ronaldinho flicked the ball over the defence, and Leo ran onto the ball and chipped it over the GK, becoming the club’s youngest-ever scorer at the time. Hero! WICKED WONDERGOAL! APRIL 18, 2007 Messi has obviously scored some jaw-dropping goals over the years, but his solo stunner against Getafe in the Copa del Rey semi-final was voted the club’s best goal in history! He picked the ball up in his own half, dribbled past loads of defenders – plus the keeper – before slotting it home! Scan the QR code to watch it! CHAMPO…

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE BOOK IS ALL ABOUT? CASEY SAYS: “When Iwas growing up, female footballers weren’t on TV or in the papers, and we didn’t even really know that women’s football existed. That’s changing now, and it’s important to have those role models and celebrate the incredible women that have enabled the game to be where it is now!” THE BOOK IS ALL ABOUT INSPIRATIONAL FOOTBALLERS! WHO WERE YOUR FOOTBALL HEROES GROWING UP? CASEY SAYS: “I was an Arsenal fan, so my hero was Ian Wright because he played the game with asmile on his face! But in the women’s game, Mia Hamm was a real game-changer. She was the first female player to be sponsored by Nike, she won the World Cup with USA in 1999…

HEADING HERO At over six feet tall, it’s normal that Chelsea feel they can fire long balls into Tammy – he’s been in more aerial duels than any other Blues player! He’s been spending more time on the training field to work on his hold-up play too, and those extra hours are starting to tell! SICK SHOOTING Going into October’s international break, no Premier League player had hit more shots on target than Tammy – his accuracy is well impressive! He’s not afraid to shoot and, if you’re a striker, you shouldn’t be either. Try to make sure you take at least three shots per game – just like Tammy! MR. MOTIVATED In his first interview after being called up to England’s senior squad, the first thing Tammy did was…

Wendie Renard is in my new book, and she’s outstanding. She’s so composed and covers the ground so quickly, so she makes it look easy! Alongside her would be Kadeisha Buchanan, because she’s done so well for Canada.” ATTACK CASEY SAYS: “ Kelly Smith would be my number ten. I played with her and she was the best player in the world at the time – a really incredible talent! And then up front would be Birgit Prinz, who is Germany’s all-time top goalscorer!” LAUREN JAMES CASEY SAYS: “As arising star, Lauren…
