Julie Fleeting
Scottish soccer player Julie Fleeting has the beautiful game well and truly in her blood, as her father and uncles were also professional football players. Clearly not intimidated by her place in what was once considered a boys’ game, Fleeting played alongside boys for most of her childhood, until the age of 12 when mixed playing was banned in Scotland.
