Fun Facts about Miri

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

As a child, Miri Taylor balanced dancing and playing football. All her schoolmates were boys who played soccer while she danced, but she missed being with them and decided to join their team, despite skeptical looks from parents.

She joined the Chelsea academy at age 12. She spent six years at Chelsea, advancing to the reserves and then, at 16, to the first team, becoming the second-youngest player to play for Chelsea.

She also played with a boys' elite academy until she was 18.

Taylor chose to attend college in the United States for the balance between football and academics. She earned a degree in Rhetoric and Public Advocacy from Hofstra University.
