Emma Louise Beckett (born 29 May 1987) is an Irish football midfielder who played for Watford and the Ireland national team.
With her hometown club Northampton Town, Beckett was part of a treble-winning team in 2004–05.[3] Beckett later became a journeywoman, playing for several FA Women's Premier League teams in Greater London. In 2015, after accepting an offer to join Amazon Grimstad of the Norwegian Toppserien, Beckett quipped that she had "more clubs than Tiger Woods".[4] She left London Bees, where she had been the captain, to join Tottenham Hotspur in January 2019.[5] Later that year Spurs took on seven new players and eleven players were not included. These players including Beckett, Sarah Wiltshire and top scorer Bianca Baptiste had to find new roles.[6]
