English forward who won the Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament as England won Euro 2022 on home soil
Beth Mead became a household name in England during the summer of 2022, scoring six goals to win both the Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament award as the Lionesses won the UEFA Women's Euro on home soil, England's first major trophy since the men's team in 1966. Her form that season, including a then-record 20 goals in a single campaign for England, earned her the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. A serious ACL injury suffered months later derailed her momentum, but she returned to full fitness and remained a key part of Arsenal's forward line and England's title defence at Euro 2025. Signed by Arsenal from Sunderland in 2017, she developed under Joe Montemurro into one of the most incisive wide forwards in the women's game.
