Born into a footballing family, Leah Williamson followed in the
footsteps of her mother who cut her hair short so she could play
with the boys. Williamson began playing at Scot Youth, a boys' team
in Bletchley, quickly becoming their star striker. Williamson went
on to join Rushden & Diamonds Centre of Excellence, before
joining Arsenal at the age of nine, where she has remained, making
her senior team debut in 2014 at the age of 17. Representing
England since 2010, Williamson has played at an international level
since the age of 13, and was made permanent captain of the

Keynes balanced school with a burgeoning football career to hone

of Arsenal's youth programme at nine to receiving an OBE in 2023
for services to association football and being made captain of
England's National Team. Ultimate Football Heroes is a series of
