Natasha Dowie becomes first woman for Liverpool Legends
Natasha Dowie made history by becoming the first woman to play for Liverpool Legends in a charity match against Chelsea. She was excited but also worried she might get a red card after making a strong tackle on Claude Makelele soon after entering the game. Dowie was cheered by fans when she came on as a substitute for Momo Sissoko. She quickly made an impact, even stealing the ball from Ramires during the match. However, her tackle on Makelele left him on the ground, and Dowie joked about her first challenge afterward, saying she thought she would be sent off. Despite the nerves, Dowie expressed her joy at playing alongside Liverpool legends like Steven Gerrard. She felt relaxed, thanks to the warm welcome from her teammates. Dowie emphasized that the game was not only fun but also helped raise money for a good cause. She described the experience as unforgettable and appreciated the support from the fans.
