About the Author
Mary Fowler has cemented her place as one of Australia's most exciting football talents and a rising global icon of the game. Making her international debut at just 15, Fowler has gone on to perform on the world's biggest stages, including the FIFA Women's World Cup and the Olympics. Her blend of technical brilliance, creativity, power and versatility has seen her shine for both the Matildas and Manchester City. In 2023, she became the second most Googled Australian and was named by The Daily Telegraph as 'the most influential women in Australian sport'. With her Papua New Guinean and Irish heritage shaping both her game and her outlook on life, Fowler embodies a new generation of athletes redefining the sport - authentic, gifted and inspiring on and off the pitch.
