Rose Reilly from Ayrshire, plays her football in Italy, and has recently been voted Footballer of the Year.
Rose Reilly MBE (born 2 January 1955), whose married name is Rose Peralta, is a Scottish former womens association football player, who represented both the Scottish womens football team and Italian womens football team.
Brought up in Stewarton in East Ayrshire, Scotland, Reilly began her footballing career at age seven with local boys club Stewarton United and at one point attracted the interest of scouts from Glasgow side Celtic. She made her debut for the womens side Stewarton Thistle Ladies in 1965 against the Johnston Red & White Rockets. In 1972 she moved to Westthorn Utd where she won the treble of Scottish Cup, League Cup and the first League championship.
In 1974 Reilly moved to France to play football for Reims. After a six-month spell with Reims, Reilly was bought by A.C.F. Milan and played for the womens professional team for four years in Italy.
Despite having played ten times for her native Scotland and having no formal links to Italy prior to her move to A.C.F. Milan, Reilly was selected for the Italian womens national team and was voted the best player in the Italian team which won the Mundialito in 1984, an unofficial precursor to the womens world cup. It was reported that team captain Reilly scored in the 3-1 final win over West Germany in the northern Italian town of Caorle.

Rose Reilly - A Scottish Football Legend in Italy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the remarkable journey of Rose Reilly, a true football icon. Hailing from Ayrshire, Scotland, Rose's passion for the beautiful game was ignited at a young age. Starting her career with local boys club Stewarton United, she quickly made waves and even caught the attention of scouts from renowned Glasgow side Celtic. Her talent flourished as she joined Stewarton Thistle Ladies and later Westthorn Utd, where she achieved an incredible treble of Scottish Cup, League Cup, and League championship titles. In 1974, Rose embarked on an extraordinary adventure to France to play for Reims before being acquired by A. C. F. Milan in Italy. What sets Rose apart is not only her exceptional skills but also her unexpected path representing both Scotland and Italy internationally. Despite having no prior connections to Italy before joining A. C. F. Milan, she became an integral part of their women's national team. In 1984, Rose reached new heights when she was voted Footballer of the Year after leading the Italian team to victory in the Mundialito tournament – a prestigious precursor to the Women's World Cup. Her crowning moment came as she scored during their triumphant final against West Germany. This print serves as a testament to Rose Reilly's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination that transcended borders and left an everlasting impact on women's football worldwide.
