Aston Villa's Jordan Nobbs has made headlines after becoming the all-time appearance record holder in the Women’s Super League (WSL), achieving this milestone with her 193rd match last Sunday. Nobbs, who began her career in the WSL as a newcomer in 2011, was surrounded by legends at Arsenal, including Faye White, Rachel Yankey, and Katie Chapman. Her remarkable journey has not gone unnoticed, with Aston Villa manager Robert de Pauw likening her playing style to that of Luka Modric, particularly as she has taken on a deeper role in midfield. Nobbs found the comparison amusing, stating, “I’m going to write that down and keep it for ever.” As she reflects on her career, Nobbs hopes to inspire the next generation of players by sharing her experiences and the lessons learned throughout her time in the league.
