Toni Duggan Facts
She started playing soccer with boys as a member of the Under-8 team known as Jellytots.
Only 2 years after she made her professional debut for Everton, Toni was named “FA Women’s Young Player of the Year” in 2009.
On her 18th birthday, she scored an opening goal at the 33rd minute against Sweden at the 2009 UEFA Women’s Under-19 Championship. England won the finals with a score of 2-0 because her teammate Jordan Nobbs scored the 2nd goal just 4 minutes later.
Toni got her 1st international hat trick on September 26, 2013, in a match against Turkey.
She was criticized for doing ‘blackface’ to impersonate Whoopi Goldberg from the movie Sister Act (1992) for a dress party. She apologized for her act in March 2014.
Toni was the 1st female player in Manchester City to receive “Goal of the Season” after she scored against Chelsea in the Women’s Super League in August 2015.
She was the 1st member of the England female soccer team to reach a milestone of 100k followers on Twitter in May 2016.
Toni became the 1st English player to sign for FC Barcelona Femení in 31 years when she did it on July 6, 2017.
Toni’s lifelong dream was to meet Pep Guardiola and she finally did in February 2019.
Her mom rented a billboard in her honor at the Liverpool Lime Street railway station in early June 2019, ahead of the Women’s World Cup 2019.
In June 2019, Augustine Ejangue, a defender for Cameroon’s female national team, seemed to deliberately spit on Toni. The deed went unpunished but was heavily criticized on social media.
On her 1st supermarket run when she moved to Madrid, Spain, Toni bought cat food instead of cereal.
One of the most challenging things she faced moving to Madrid was driving because they drive in the right lane, unlike in England. Until she got used to it, Toni never drove at night.
In her opinion, members of England’s female national team should not be paid more than men but should be better paid.
Her best friend is a fellow soccer player and soccer school owner, Michelle Hinnigan.
She cycles as of a form of additional cardio workout.
