Too hot to handle, too cold to hold – that's the headline Circle Zero Eight magazine uses for its cover story about Khadija Shaw, the Jamaican striker currently playing for Manchester City.
For the cover of the 9th issue of the sports, style, and culture magazine Circle Zero Eight, fashion photographer Charlie Gray photographed the exceptional Jamaican striker Khadija, also known as Bunny Shaw.
The Manchester City top scorer is looking back on the most spectacular season of her career so far. In addition to winning the Women's Super League (WSL) title and being named FWA Women's Footballer of the Year, she solidified her role as one of the most influential figures in global women's football with a long-term contract extension until 2030.
In the interview conducted by Elgar Johnson, she talks about her footballing roots in Spanish Town, growing up playing on the local pitches with boys, and how her game has evolved far beyond simply scoring goals.
