Once upon a time, Everton captain Lucy Graham, now 23, was not scoring the winner in front of 23,500 at Anfield but was without an agent and working in Tesco to supplement her nascent football career. Graham was an assistant shopper - the one who, when “people order their groceries online, goes around and collects it all for them”.

Specifically, she was responsible for the substitutions when products were out of stock. “They do have some straight swaps,” she explains. “Say they wanted a certain flavour of yoghurt, I would have to give them another kind, very similar, and hope they liked it. If they order something premium brand range, and I swapped it in for a basic - that’s a bit different. You need to find the bit in between.”

Graham is now among a handful of the Scotland talent pool – including Chelsea’s Erin Cuthbert, Arsenal’s Lisa Evans, Kim Little and Jennifer Beattie, and Manchester City’s Caroline Weir - now plying their trade in the Women’s Super League, but back then there was a feeling that Scotland was barely on the radar for most clubs and Graham, in a flurry of phonecalls and Google searches, had to find her own agent.

“When I was in Scotland, you didn’t really need one,” she says. “I think it’s unfortunate for a lot of Scottish girls. They’re kind of looking for the fairytale, that somebody’s going to come along and phone them up and chat at their door and say, ‘We want you.’ I was the one who sought some advice to try and get myself a professional contract. England is obviously notorious for producing great young players - they didn’t necessarily have to come up to Scotland. Sometimes you’ve got to roll your sleeves up and do it yourself. Sometimes it doesn’t just come along.”
