Former Arsenal striker, who scored at two World Cups, played for 17 clubs in six countries and won the Champions League
“I’ve certainly gone through a few passports,” jokes Taylor as, at the age of 37, she reveals she is retiring from playing after deciding that last season’s stint at Arsenal was a fitting conclusion to a career in which she has lived, in no particular order, in Melbourne, Sydney, Gothenburg, Ottawa, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington, Portland, Orlando, San Diego, Liverpool, Lincoln, Birmingham and London.
Thanks to some inspired forward planning, she is well placed to similarly shape the future. After growing up in Birkenhead, Taylor left Merseyside for Oregon on the US’s Pacific coast where she combined playing football with acquiring a degree in sports science and psychology. More recently, the Uefa A coaching licence has been added to her CV and, as if that were not sufficient, she has embarked on a master’s in sports directorship.
