Michelle Slater (née Jackson) (born 5 June 1968) is a former England women's international footballer.[1][2][3]

Jackson began her career playing 5-a-side youth club football at Dolphin Youth Club. She then went on to play for Leasowe Ladies (now known as Everton Ladies). After losing to Doncaster Belles 3–1 in the 1988 WFA Cup Final Jackson left Leasowe to join the Belles. While at Doncaster, Jackson was in the FA cup-winning team on three occasions; 1989–90, 1991–92 and 1993–94.[4][5]

In 1991 Jackson made her debut for England on 25 May against USA in Hirson, France. In November 2022, Jackson was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 91st women's player to be capped by England.[6][7]

Family

Jackson's father Billy Jackson was manager of Leasowe Pacific in both the 1988 and 1989 WFA Cup finals.[8]
