BBC Olympics: Alex Scott’s ‘gross’ job washing Arsenal team’s pants before she became a star England player

Success does not come easy, even for England star Alex Scott, who has revealed that she’s dealt with some rather unpleasant jobs before she achieved her dreams.

Alex, 36, is a recognisable face in the world of football : Moving from the pitch to punditry in recent years, she is about to become Football Focus’s first permanent female host in the show’s 47-year history.

Her knowledgeable comments about the beautiful game and her charismatic personality have turned her into one of our best-loved sport commentators, but Alex didn’t always have such a glamourous job.

The former football star admitted that she used to wash Arsenal legends Ian Wright and Sol Campbell’s pants before she turned pro.

The early days of her career were difficult, as Alex revealed that she took on the “gross” job while she was still semi-pro.

The star made these shocking revelations during a TV appearance on Sky One’s sports comedy panel show, ‘A League of Their Own’, when Alex admitted she used to work in the Arsenal laundry.

“I worked in the laundry, we weren’t professional then, we were only semi-pro, so I used to wash their pants,” she told the panel.

Alex added that the team’s smalls were in a “gross” state and she had to wear gloves to handle the clothes, especially during summertime in pre-season.

There was certainly a struggle behind the glitz and glamour of Alex’s life today.

Scott returned to our screens this summer as one of the expert voices during the BBC’s coverage of the Euro 2020 tournament.

The former Arsenal and England defender made 200 appearances for her club and earned 140 caps for her country.

The high achiever was also part of Team GB for the London 2012 Olympics and helped her country’s team secure third place at the 2015 Women’s World Cup.

As of most recently, she has joined FIFA 22 as a commentator, becoming the first English-speaking female broadcaster to appear in the video game.
