Lucy Hope is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Everton in the FA WSL and the Scotland national team.
She worked in a Tesco supermarket while trying to start her professional football career.
She says she had to work hard to find an agent and get herself a contract as there wasn't a straightforward path for young talents in Scotland.
At 17, Lucy Graham played professionally in Sweden for Mallbackens IF, which motivated her and led to a successful trial at Bristol City.
She was a Liverpool fan in childhood.
She was known as Lucy Graham until getting married in December 2022.
She was the team's leading goalscorer with seven league goals and twelve in all competitions at Bristol City.
She didn't have a football or any other equipment as a child and started playing with bottle tops.
She scored the winning goal at first-ever women's derby against Liverpool that was played at the stadium in front of 23,500 fans.
She captained Everton.
She advocates for equality in sports.
She has two Sprocker Spaniel dogs, named Jura and Winnie.
