Alex Scott is a former professional football player who currently works as a sports television broadcaster, with appearances on BBC, Sky Sports and BT Sport.
She made 140 appearances for the England national team and represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Biography
Alex Scott went to Langdon Park School, which is recognized as a sports college. At the 2012 London Olympics, Scott and fellow rapper Dizzee Rascal both represented Great Britain (in their respective sports).
In her autobiography published in 2022, Scott acknowledged that she had experienced domestic abuse from her father when she was a child. She also promised to donate all book sales proceeds to organizations that support women who have experienced abuse of this kind.
At the age of eight, Scott signed a contract with Arsenal in 1992. She initially made the first team as a striker or right winger before being switched to full-back. Scott stayed with Arsenal through the 2004–05 campaign before moving on to Birmingham City.
The club finished fourth in the FA Women’s Premier League National Division with Scott’s addition. She went back to Arsenal for the 2005–06 campaign, though, as a result of Birmingham’s financial troubles.
Scott returned to Arsenal and helped the team win the FA Women’s Cup and FA Women’s Premier League, giving them a domestic double. She played a significant role in the historic “Quadruple” season that saw Arsenal win the UEFA Women’s Cup in 2006-07 as well as all other trophy competitions.
Scott competed for England at the U19 and U21 levels, as well as at the FIFA U-19 Women’s World Championship that year in Canada.
On September 18, 2004, Scott faced the Netherlands in her full debut. She participated in the UEFA Women’s Championship in 2005, 2009, 2013, and 2017, as well as the FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2007, 2011, and 2015. She won bronze at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and silver at the 2009 UEFA Women’s Euros.
Scott’s forceful header past her own goalkeeper in November 2014 gave Germany the lead during England’s humiliating 3-0 loss to Germany at Wembley Stadium.
Scott ended his career in international football in 2017. She finished with the second-most caps for England at the time of retirement.
