Karen Farley (born 2 September 1970)[1] is an English former women's international footballer. Her married name is Karen Livermore-Farley.

Club career

She won the 1991 WFA Cup final with Millwall Lionesses when they defeated Doncaster Belles 1-0 at Prenton Park.[2]

In 1995[3] and 1996 Farley was playing her club football in Sweden.[4] In 2000, she was still playing for Hammarby.[5]

International career

Farley represented England at senior level, playing in England's first ever World Cup finals appearance in 1995 which ended with a 3–0 quarter final defeat against Germany.[1] She played in all four games in the tournament held in Sweden and scored two goals in a game versus Nigeria.[6] She scored eight goals in eleven games for England but successive ACL injuries prevented her from potentially achieving more caps.[7] She was allotted 103 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[8][9]
