THEY’VE won so many FA Cups between them that neither of them knows for sure who has won more.
The records show that former Arsenal and England teammates Alex Scott and Katie Chapman have each been part of a record nine FA Cup winning-sides, Scott appearing in seven finals all for Arsenal, Chapman representing four different sides in six winning teams.
Both Chapman and Scott have already had the honour of lifting the trophy at Wembley in the three years in which the national stadium has hosted the showpiece of women’s football and one or the other of them will make history tomorrow evening as the first footballer in the history of the English game to win the FA Cup on an incredible 10 occasions.
The powerhouse Liverpool forward secured a record-breaking 90 per cent of the vote, while Arsenal’s Alessia Russo topped a wide field to win the women’s award, writes JAMES NALTON
