Getting to know... Gemma Bonner
Ahead of Liverpool Ladies' crunch derby clash with Everton on Thursday night, we caught up with Gemma Bonner to try and discover a bit more about the captain…
With just four games remaining, the Reds tackle the Blues at their shared home of the Select Security Stadium in Widnes knowing three points will take them another step closer to retaining their Women's Super League title.
Bonner will lead the Ladies out determined to maintain their outstanding run of recent form - and in the countdown to kick off, took a few moments out of her preparations to try her hand at our 'Getting to Know...' quiz.
