Winger Lucy Monkman, 28, splits her time between playing football in London and touring across Europe and America as a DJ – she’s played at Glastonbury, Creamfields and Parklife.
Known as DJ Monki when on the decks and not the pitch, she said: “I play a lot of sets with Annie Mac and I went on tour with Stormzy a couple of years ago.”
The winger shares her music schedule with the coaches at Dulwich and uses a band to monitor her sleep and energy levels.
“We try to schedule shows in for Friday nights. We try not to on Saturday nights but if it’s a big show then I will obviously do it,” she added.
“If I have a big gig the night before and I’ve not had enough sleep, I’ll tell my coach and he’ll probably not start me!”
As well as a DJ, Dulwich have a qualified physiotherapist and a contingent of American imports, while winger Liz Wicks came through Arsenal’s academy, playing alongside former England internationals Kelly Smith, Alex Scott, Rachel Yankey and Faye White.
