If Audrey Hepburn played soccer: winger, rated 81

Audrey Hepburn as a soccer player: scouting report

Audrey Hepburn would play on the wing, and she would do it with a dancer's feet. Before she became a film star she trained seriously in ballet, first in the Netherlands and then in London, and ballet balance is exactly what a winger needs to stay upright while cutting past a sliding fullback. Her dribbling is one of the best parts of her card. She glides rather than sprints, changing direction on a dime and leaving defenders lunging at air.

Her pace is strong as well, so she can still get to the byline when a fullback gives her room. Her passing grades out well, which lets her pick out a striker with a cutback instead of forcing a shot. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Roman Holiday, her first leading role in a Hollywood film, which says a lot about a player who is ready from the very first touch. Later she became a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and traveled widely for children's causes, so the work rate off the ball is real. Shooting is not the strongest part of her game, so she is more creator than finisher.

Physical strength is the soft spot. She will not win many shoulder to shoulder battles, so keep the ball on the ground and give her space to run into. The surprise is that her goalkeeping is the top mark on her card, making goalkeeper her next best spot, and fullback is also an option. She is one of the rare performers to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. For a drafter, she is a creative winger with a high floor. Pair her with a strong, clinical striker.
