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.
