Getting to know | Emily McMaster | OneFootball

Appearing first and exclusively in this season’s official matchday programme, we get to know our Women Under-21s players.

Taking on the Q&A first was captain Emily McMaster, who joined us from Reading’s Academy last season.

We sat down with the defender ahead of our Barclays Women’s Super League opener against Crystal Palace to find out a little more about her…

First started training with Spurs?

“I joined the Club at 16-years-old. I started last summer and came from Reading’s academy.”

Favourite food?

“I would probably choose my mum’s lasagne with some garlic bread.”

Any pets?

“I don’t have any pets, but I would love a little labrador.”

Favourite TV show?

“I like watching I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! with my whole family as we can all sit down and watch it together. We don’t really have much time during the day to watch other TV series.”

Any hidden talents?

“I played Netball at quite a high standard, I competed at county level in that but I had to stop because of football.”

Who do you like to watch in the first team and why?

“Molly Bartrip as she plays in my position and she is a leader as well, so I look up to her as a player on and off the pitch.”

If you could meet someone famous, who would it be?

“I would choose Jordan Henderson because he was a captain for a long time at Liverpool, but I feel he also plays very well and can lead off the pitch. He is an inspiration to me.”

If you couldn’t be a footballer, what would you like to be instead?

“I’d probably stay in sports, maybe as a PE teacher or a sports coach, focusing more on football.”

How would you sum up your character?

“I’d say I have quite a bubbly personality and I like to be around people, socialising with my team-mates.”
