Welcome back to ‘The Albion Girls’, our feature in which members of West Bromwich Albion Women’s squad reveal all about their team-mates!
Ellie May and Rhianne Oakley are the most recent candidates to take on the key questions about life in the Baggies’ dressing room.
Next up to dish the dirt, as well as the compliments, is defender Zoe Creaney.
Take it away, Zoe!
Who’s the worst at replying in the group chat?
Everybody’s terrible minus about two or three players. I’d say the younger ones don’t really reply, maybe they’re a bit scared to. I would say Taylor [Reynolds] is the most active in the chat.
If you could be one member of the squad for 24 hours, who would you be?
I’d go for Phoebe [Warner]. She goes in a lot of different directions – she does a lot. She’s so energetic and she does so much in her spare time.
If you had to call one person in the squad and your life depends on that person answering the phone, who would you ring?
Definitely Taylor [Reynolds], because I feel like she’s probably on her phone the most.
Who’s the quickest in the team?
It’s definitely Rhi[anne Oakley]. She’s got the stats to back it up, although Amya [Hammond-McLean] is definitely catching her up – there’s a bit of a rivalry going on there.
Who would be most likely to become a politician?
I would say Kate [Evans]. She’s probably the most diplomatic in the team. She could balance an argument quite well.
Who’s most likely to put a free-kick in the top bins?
HG [Hannah George] is definitely up there. Actually, Marli [Rhodes] maybe. She scored two in one game when we were playing in pre-season.
Who spends the most time getting ready?
It could be a toss-up between a few for this one. It would be between Seren [Watkins] and Taylor [Reynolds], maybe Ellie [May] and Rhi[anne Oakley] too. They all take a lot of pride in their appearance.
Who has the worst taste in music?
I’m not sure on this one. I’d say LJ [Lavarna Johnson]. She’s just got rap and that’s about it.
Who has the most jokes aimed at them?
It’s got to be LJ [Lavarna Johnson] again. She gives as good as she gets and she was mean to me last weekend by calling me old. She kept saying that the bench was really young, apart from me – that wasn’t very nice.
Who picks up the most fines in the squad, and why?
I don’t really check the fines, I only look for myself. I’ve had a few. I’ve given Liv [Rabjohn] £10 and I just keep asking her to take off the money when I get one. Molly [Kehoe] gets a lot of fines for jewellery, so maybe she gets the most.
Which player would you most like to go on holiday with?
Maybe Sim[ran Jhamat], she’d be quite fun and up for anything.
Who would you back to take a penalty in a pressurised situation?
I’d go for Phoebe [Warner]. She knows where the goal is. She put one in the bottom corner in the shootout against Leeds United – that was very composed.
