Fara Williams Instagram – Fara Williams was born to do good and destined to be great.⁣
⁣
With 172 international appearances to her name she is England’s most capped player of all time. But it was her time with Everton that saw Williams crowned as ‘Queen Fara’.⁣
⁣
The former captain picked up two FA Women’s Premier League Cups and an FA Cup title with the Toffees. She scored 70 goals in 122 appearances, going down as one of the most prolific goalscorers in the side’s history.⁣
⁣
The former midfielder spent 23 years, not just at the top of her game, but at the top of the game. Her on-pitch achievements were recognised by the FA when she became the first player to be inducted into the Barclays WSL Hall of Fame back in 2021. EA FC have also commemorated Williams’ status as one of the best to ever step foot on a pitch, by issuing her with a Hero card for FC 25.⁣
