Former Spurs Women player Kerys Harrop inducted into WSL Hall of Fame

I loved watching Kerys play at left back for us. She was never the fastest player, but her smarts and experience and odd ability to connect with the ball often saw her get the better of the attackers she was facing. I’ll always remember her for the headed goal she scored against Chelsea (a clever free kick taken by Kyah Simon, I believe – I wish I could find the footage, it was so fun. But alas, all I have is my own match recap from three years ago, which definitely isn’t making me aware of the unrelenting passage of time).

She did slow down a bit towards the end of her time at Spurs, and when she left the club to retire, you couldn’t really argue it wasn’t time. Unfortunately, nobody’s shown as much personality and verve at left back since Kerys left (except for maybe Ash Neville when she was played out of position there). If you feel the same, join me in remembering Kerys’ time at Spurs fondly in the comments 🫡
