'Sweet Feet': Nine-year-old girl Sam Gordon has become one of the fastest children in her local football league in Utah There are plenty of boys chasing this little girl but they are not after a kiss on the school playground – they are trying to tackle her on the football pitch. Only problem is that nine-year-old Sam Gordon is too fast for them to catch, earning her the nickname Sweet Feet. What started as a way to keep up with her big brother, has turned Sam into a star player in her local, all-boys football league in Utah, becoming one of the fastest children in the Salt Lake City area ‘Gremlins’ league as well as breaking and making tackles among the much bigger players.
