Karen Walker (footballer)

Karen Walker (footballer)

Karen Walker was a brave centre forward known for scoring with her head. She played for Doncaster Rovers for 17 years, starting at the age of 16, and began playing for England as a teenager, notching up 83 Caps and scoring a record 40 goals until she retired as an international in 2003. She is particularly remembered for her performances in the 1995 World Cup in Sweden, in attack, but also when needed as a left back. She finished her career playing for Leeds United, and in her very last game, against Arsenal in the 2006 FA Cup Final, she left the pitch to a standing ovation.
