Alexandra Virina Scott was born on 14 October 1984 in Poplar, London, to a British mother with Northern Irish, English and Lithuanian-Jewish heritage and a Jamaican father. During the filming of the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? in 2021, she discovered that her maternal great-grandfather was Jewish and opposed fascism in East London,[7] and that her four times great-grandfather was a black man who owned twenty-six slaves.[8]
In 2022, Scott revealed in her autobiography that she had been a victim of domestic abuse from her father during her childhood; she pledged that all proceeds from her book would go to help women affected by similar abuse.[9]
Club career
Start in England
Scott signed on with Arsenal in 1992, at the age of eight.[10] After breaking into the first team as a striker or right winger,[11] she was later converted to full-back. Scott remained with Arsenal until the 2004–05 season, after which she moved to Birmingham City. With the addition of Scott, the club finished fourth in the FA Women's Premier League National Division. However, due to Birmingham's financial difficulties, she returned to Arsenal for the 2005–06 season.[citation needed]
Upon rejoining Arsenal, Scott helped the club to a domestic double of the FA Women's Premier League and FA Women's Cup. She was also a key figure in Arsenal's historic "Quadruple" season in which they won all of their trophy competitions, including the 2006–07 UEFA Women's Cup. Arsenal were the first ever British side to win the competition, with Scott scoring the only goal in the two-legged tie with Umeå IK. She appeared in 22 Premier League games, scoring two goals. In all competitions, she made 40 appearances and scored four goals.[citation needed]
The 2007–08 season saw Scott appear in 21 games, scoring once. In all competitions, she made 35 appearances, scoring three goals. In the 2008–09 season, Scott scored once in 13 games. In all competitions, she made 24 appearances, adding two goals.[citation needed]
Move to the United States
Upon the creation of a new women's league in the United States, Women's Professional Soccer, it was announced on 25 September 2008 that her WPS playing rights had been assigned to Chicago Red Stars, whose head coach was former Arsenal assistant Emma Hayes. Her rights were traded on 15 January 2009 to Boston Breakers and it was announced on 6 February 2009 that she would be leaving Arsenal to join up with her new team.[12]
In the inaugural 2009 Women's Professional Soccer season, Scott played in 17 games for the Breakers. She scored one goal and added one assist. In 2010, Scott featured in 21 games and registered two assists. She started 14 of her 15 matches in 2011. In December 2011, Scott returned to Arsenal on loan for the duration of a three-match pre-season tour of Japan.[13]
Back to England
When the WPS collapsed ahead of the 2012 campaign, Scott returned for a third spell at Arsenal. She was joined by Boston teammate Kelly Smith.[14] Scott was named captain for the 2014–15 season. She did not take part in the 2015 Continental Cup final where Arsenal Ladies beat Notts County to the Cup.[15] In the following season, Scott helped take Arsenal to the final of the 2016 FA Cup against Chelsea, which the Gunners won 1–0.[16] Scott played her last game on 12 May 2018 against Manchester City Women which Arsenal won 2–1.[17]
In November 2014, Scott headed powerfully past her own goalkeeper to give Germany the lead in England's crushing 3–0 defeat at Wembley Stadium.[20]
On 2 September 2017, Scott retired from international football. On the date of retirement, she ended up as the second most capped England player with 140 appearances.[21]
Scott was allotted 155 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[22][23]
Following her retirement in 2017, Scott turned her focus full-time to television broadcasting, co-presenting on Match of the Day Kickabout.[33] She became well known to a wider audience when she covered the 2018 FIFA World Cup, becoming the first female football pundit at a World Cup for the BBC.[34] After the tournament, she continued to provide insight on the Premier League, and in August 2018 became the first female pundit on Sky Sports, joining the Super Sunday team.[35] She covered the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup for the BBC.[34] In August 2019, Scott was announced as the new co-host of Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday alongside Chris Kamara.[36] Since 2020, Scott has been a regular presenter on the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards. Scott is also a frequent guest presenter on The One Show.
In September 2019 Scott was a contestant on the 17th series of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with professional dancer Neil Jones.[37] She was the first woman footballer to take part in the show.[citation needed] The couple were eliminated in week 11, coming fifth.
^ abNeil was injured during week 6 rehearsals, so Kevin Clifton danced in his place
Scott has spoken out repeatedly about the sexist abuse she frequently receives on social media because of her role as a football pundit.[34][38]
In May 2021, Scott was announced as the new presenter of Football Focus, after Dan Walker's decision to step down.[39] In July 2021, Scott was announced as the host of a new BBC daytime quiz show, The Tournament,[40] which began airing in November.[41] That same month (July), Scott was announced as a commentator for the EA Sports game FIFA 22.[42] She was a main presenter for the BBC's coverage of the 2020 Olympic Games alongside Clare Balding.[43]
Scott participated in the ancestry research programme Who Do You Think You Are?, which aired from October 2021 onwards.[44]
Her memoir How (Not) To Be Strong was published on 29 September 2022.[45]
Shortly after seven European national football associations announced that they were asking their captains not to wear the pro-LGBTQ+ OneLove armband at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, due to a threat of sporting sanctions from FIFA, Scott wore the armband while reporting on the England vs Iran match on 21 November.[46]
On 10 March 2023, following the suspension of Gary Lineker as the host of Match of the Day for allegedly breaching BBC impartiality rules by criticising the government's asylum policy on Twitter, Scott sent a Bernie Sanders meme "nah not me" to indicate she would not present the following episode of the show in solidarity with Lineker.[47]
In June 2023, Scott was featured in the national ad for messaging platform WhatsApp. In the campaign titled A Private Message, Scott starred opposite Ted Lasso actor Karen Johal. WhatsApp used Scott to help promote their new secure messaging services.[48]
Personal life
In 2011, Scott founded the Alex Scott Academy in partnership with Kingston College and Puma, for female footballers aged 16–19 years. This represented the first such academy in the UK and was intended to highlight the growth of the women's game.[49]
Scott and former partner and teammate Kelly Smith shared a house in Hertfordshire.[53] The pair were teammates in America while both played for the Boston Breakers.[54][55] Both returned to England to play for Arsenal together in 2012, after the collapse of their American league.[14] In her 2022 memoir How (Not) To Be Strong, Scott confirmed that she and Smith were a couple from 2005 to 2013. While she says she fell "madly and deeply in love" with Smith, Scott has not explicitly labelled her sexuality and has said she has been in relationships with both men and women.[56] Scott has been in a relationship with singer Jess Glynne since the summer of 2023.[57]
