Theresa Hinton (née Irvine) is a former England women's international footballer.[1]

Career

[edit]

Theresa Irvine began her football career at the Berkshire side Bracknell Bullitts at the age of 21.[2] Initially starting as a forward, she soon found she preferred playing as a goalkeeper, a position in which she thrived at Bracknell Bullitts before eventually transferring to Aylesbury.[2] At 26, Irvine made her England debut against Sweden and continued to represent England for the next six years.[2]

International career

[edit]

She was part of the England squad that competed at the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football where England lost against Sweden in the final.[3] In November 2022, Irvine was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 53rd women's player to be capped by England.[4][5][6]
