Carly Hunt (born 9 February 1982) is a retiredEnglish footballer. She played as amidfielder and has representedEngland at senior international level.
Throughout her career she played alongside her identical twin sisterGemma and they were nicknamedthe rottweilers for their aggressive style of play.[1][2]
Hunt started playing forMillwall Lionesses' first team as a 14-year-old.[1] The sisters switched toCroydon Women at 16 when the family moved toDartford.[2]
Croydon won theFA Women's Cup in 2000. Gemma scored the winning goal but Carly missed the final following a cartilage operation.[3] The pair were strongly in favour ofCharlton Athletic's controversial and hostile takeover of Croydon Women during that summer.[4]
In December 2000 both sisters were sent off in the same match, Carly for attacking a teammate.[5] The duo were "kicked out" ofCharlton Athletic a year later after a huge squad bust-up.[6] They made their debut forDoncaster Belles in February 2002.[7] In September 2003 an on-pitch altercation with former Charlton teammateCarmaine Walker saw another red card for Hunt.[8] Days later the incident spilled over into anEngland training session, resulting in lengthy bans for Carly and Gemma Hunt, as well as Charlton's Walker andEartha Pond.[9]
The Hunts left Doncaster Rovers Belles forLeeds United Ladies in 2004, but moved on toAFC Wimbledon Ladies shortly afterwards.
Hunt was the captain ofEngland U-18s. She made senior appearances againstNorway andNigeria in 2002 andItaly in 2003.
She was allotted 139 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[10][11]
