Linda Curl is an English former football midfielder or forward who played for the England women's national football team.
Curl made her England debut as a 15-year-old, in a 9–1 friendly win over Switzerland, staged at Boothferry Park, Hull, on 28 April 1977.[1] She continued playing for England until 1990.[2] She won the WFA Cup with Lowestoft Ladies in 1982 and Norwich in 1986, scoring in both finals.[2] Outside of football she worked as a police officer.[2]
In the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football final, England lost the first away leg 1–0 against Sweden, after a header from Pia Sundhage. They won the second home leg by the same margin, with a goal from Curl.[3] England lost the subsequent penalty shootout 4–3, as both Curl and Lorraine Hanson had their spot kicks saved by Elisabeth Leidinge.[4]
In November 2022, Curl was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 35th women's player to be capped by England.[5][6]
