JUVENTUS ace Alisha Lehmann looked back at her football beginnings before reaching fame on the pitch and social media.

That earned the forward an audience of 16.4million followers and the nickname of the “world’s sexiest footballer”.
The Switzerland international claims she knew she had a calling from the age of six when she played football with boys.
The ex-Aston Villa ace even claims that she was “faster than the boys” and that led to her playing for a local club.

“I’m a girl, I’m feminine, and I like nails. I’m not a full-back, I don’t have to take throw-ins.

“I’m always criticised for these things. I don’t care what they write.”
