Jessica Park is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Women's Super League Club Manchester United and the Lionesses.
Her football idol is Sergio Aguero because of his playing style. She is also inspired by Messi and his creativity.
She's been a Manchester City fan ever since.
When she was little, she used to play mostly with boys. Her dad found a girls' team in the area, but Jess didn't want to join it. Her dad convinced her that if she tried out, he'd buy her a new football kit.
She has the date of her debut for Manchester City tattooed on her forearm in Roman numerals.
She can do a backflip.
Today’s Twin Story isn’t about players connected by family ties or close relationships, as in previous weeks. Jess Park and Grace Clinton may not share that kind of bond, but they are linked by something else — the trajectories of their careers.Each is thriving at a different Manchester rival, yet both are united by the national team
A match that underlined United’s shrewd summer recruitment. Tottenham opened the scoring in the 16th minute through a Drew Spence strike, and for a long time it looked as though the match might follow a similar script to last week’s league encounter, when Spurs had led 3–0 at one stage. United, however, emerged reinvigorated after the half-time break and, thanks to their summer signings, managed to turn the game in their favor.
Fridolina Rolfö first set up the equalizer for Jess Park before scoring herself to make it 2–1, a decisive goal that sent United through to the semi-finals. The only concern for the Red Devils was an injury to Ella Toone, who was forced off in the 62nd minute with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
Month of newcomers. Jess Park transferred from Manchester City to United, their main rivals, at the start of the season, but immediately became player of the month—the change of environment has clearly suited her. Coach of the month was AndrĂ©e Jeglertz, the Manchester City coach who recently took over the club.Â
After losing 4-1 to Arsenal, London City Lionesses hosted their first home game in the WSL, where they suffered their second defeat. Manchester United took the lead early on when captain La Tissier converted a penalty.
The match was particularly memorable for Jess Park, who recently joined United from rivals City and scored her first goal for her new club. The assist came from another new signing, Fridolina Rolfö, who came on in the 80th minute and was playing her first game in her new jersey.Â
The last day of the transfer window saw a rather spicy trade between city rivals.Â
