Amy James-Turner helped Tottenham make history on the pitch in March, calmly slotting home a decisive winning penalty against Manchester City en route to Spurs reaching the Women's FA Cup Final. But arguably her greatest contribution yet could be off the pitch. In between training, playing and running her side-hustle coffee van business, James-Turner has spent most of the last season preparing a first-of-its-kind report, exploring the voice of women's football on climate.
The rest of those who completed surveys were anonymous, and as the report states, perhaps the saddest reflection on the implications of climate change was this: 'The thought of me having a baby for example. There's no way. Why would you want to bring a kid into the world?' Another damning statistic was that only 19 per cent of respondents rated the steps taken by their club or league to address environmental concerns as positive or strongly positive.
