Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox football biography Rebecca Anne Easton (born 16 April 1974)[1] is an English former footballer who played for Doncaster Rovers Belles, Everton and Liverpool.

Easton played as right-back and central midfielder and represented England at full international level.[2] Merseysider Easton has won league titles with both Everton and Liverpool.[3]

Club career

Easton joined Everton from Liverpool Ladies in 1997[4] and won the league title in her first season with The Blues. She had featured in Liverpool's FA Women's Cup final defeats in 1995 and 1996.[5]

Easton had a second spell with Everton having re-signed from Doncaster Rovers Belles in the 2004 close season,[6] where she had been captain.[7]

In 2012 Easton was released by Everton, but won a contract for the 2013 FA WSL season with Liverpool after a successful trial.[8]

With Easton in the team Liverpool won the league title in 2013 and 2014 but were much less successful in 2015, finishing second bottom. Her 2015 campaign was truncated by a broken arm.[9] Aged 41, she was among four players to be released by the club at the end of the season.[10]

In December 2015 Easton rejoined Doncaster Rovers Belles, where she would combine playing with a role as assistant general manager.[11] Doncaster lost their four opening games and were marooned at the foot of the WSL 1 table, when Easton left the club by "mutual consent" in the mid-season break, ostensibly to focus on her studies.[12]

International career

Easton represented England at senior level, playing in England's first ever FIFA Women's World Cup finals appearance in 1995, which ended with a 3–0 quarter-final defeat by Germany.[13]

In 2000, she was named as the Nationwide International Player of the Year, based on her consistency for the national team.[2]

She was given number 104 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[14][15]

Personal life

Easton worked as a podiatrist in Liverpool,[16] until she began full-time football training during her second spell with Liverpool. She also embarked on a master's degree in sports directorship at Manchester Metropolitan University.[17]

Easton is the cousin of comedian Paul O'Grady.[18] On 26 May 2016, she married former teammate Natasha Dowie.[19]
