A great striker with a superb goals to games ratio.  Worth every penny.

Australian in their natural state?

She must be looking out for a bigger house to make room for all her awards and medals 

She’s everywhere. 

 

She hasn't aged!

Feel a bit sad for Sam, that wasn’t the World Cup she deserved.

No it was not especially given it was on home soil.

Hopefully it is a great season for the Chelsea women to make up for it.

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is among the three nominees for the 2022/23 UEFA Women’s Player of the Year award after a stellar season on the domestic, European and international stages.

 

The 29-year-old will go up against Spain’s Aitana Bonmati and Olga Carmona for this prestigious award, with the nominees selected by coaches and journalists based on performances during 2022/23 for club and country.

Sam Kerr enjoyed a wonderful season for the Blues, scoring 29 goals in 38 appearances as we secured a fourth-consecutive Women’s Super League title, which was preceded by a third-straight FA Cup triumph at Wembley Stadium.

We reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and, along the way, the Australian became the first player to score four goals in a group game during our 8-0 victory over Vllaznia at Kingsmeadow last November.

 

 

Sam Kerr enjoyed a hugely successful season and her exploits have seen her nominated for this prestigious award

 

At the end of the 2022/23 campaign, Kerr was named the Chelsea Women’s Player and Players’ Player of the Season. She won the FA Women’s Super League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards and became the first player to win the Football Writers’ Association Women’s Footballer of the Year twice in a row.

There was no let up for Kerr, who jetted off to represent Australia at a home World Cup this summer. She was ruled out of the group stages through injury, but returned to the fold in the last 16, helping the Matildas to the semi-finals, where she scored a stunning strike in their defeat to England.

The UEFA Women's Player of the Year winner will be announced on Thursday 31 August.

Nice shirts everbody is wearing!

Second place in the Women's Ballon d'Or.

Blatant corruption. Sam is number one!

Leading out the Matildas. Accompanied by her nieces.

Highest ever finish for an Aussie. Kerr is easily Australia's greatest current sportsperson.

That’s already out of date!

We have to get her deal tied down as soon as possible with no faffing around

On the way to Morocco with the rest of the Women's team.

Bugger. Not good news. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Chelsea Football Club can confirm striker Sam Kerr has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during our warm weather training camp in Morocco.

 

Sam will be assessed by a specialist in the coming days and then begin her rehabilitation with the club’s medical team.

The Australia international signed for the Blues in 2019 and has gone on to score 99 goals in 128 matches.

She has played a pivotal role in four Women’s Super League title wins, three FA Cup triumphs, two Women’s League cup victories, and the Women’s Community Shield in 2020.

Everyone at Chelsea would like to wish Sam the very best for her recovery.
