Frankie Brown (born 8 October 1987) is a Scottish international footballer who currently plays for Bristol Academy in the FA WSL.
Playing career
A right sided defender, Brown began her footballing career with Falkirk Girls and was called up to the national under-17 squad in 2004.[2] After leaving school to study at Edinburgh University, Brown joined Whitehill Welfare before moving to Hibernian.[3] She also played in the UEFA Women's Champions League for Cypriot side Apollon Limassol alongside fellow Scot Hayley Lauder.[4]
Brown was called up to the full Scotland squad for the first time in August 2008 and won her first cap the following month in a friendly match against Switzerland.[5][1]
She attended the Scottish Football Association National Performance Centre at the University of Stirling as a Ph.D. student.[6][7] After graduating, Brown took up a research post at the University of Bath and in April 2014 she left Hibs to join FA WSL side Bristol Academy.[8][9]
In July 2014 Brown was party to an unseemly spat between her Bristol teammate Natalia Pablos and Birmingham City's Karen Carney. On the strength of Brown's witness statement, Carney was fined, banned and sent on an education course for telling Natalia to "fuck off back to Spain." Natalia branded Carney a "puta madre" (English: mother fucker) during a lively exchange which Brown had drawn to the attention of the match referee.[10]
