The ex-England international was honoured with the prestigious personal honour after an illustrious career in the Barclays Women’s Super League and 16-year tenure with the Lionesses.
She joins an elite list of honourees with Kerry Davis, Jack Leslie and former City captain Vincent Kompany completing the additions to a 190-name list.
Scott has the fourth highest number of appearances for the Club, tallying 194 during her nine years at City, with only Steph Houghton, Keira Walsh and Demi Stokes featuring more.
Her illustrious tenure at City included three Continental Cup wins, three FA Cup victories and one WSL triumph.
Our ex-midfielder announced her retirement from the sport shortly after England’s 2022 EURO success and brief loans spells at Everton and Aston Villa.
But off the pitch she has continued to have a monumental impact on the Women’s game, helping inspire generations of players.
And this hard work has also been recognised as part of her induction into the Hall of Fame.
Located in Manchester, Scott attended the National Football Museum’s opening in 2012 and was honoured at the venue in this week, making the moment even more special for the former Blue.
“It’s such a massive honour,” said Scott.
“I was here on opening day with Rachel Brown-Finnis at the museum, so to see how much the museum has grown, and then to get inducted into the Hall of Fame and see how far the women’s game has grown…I feel so fortunate that I’ve had the chance to live this journey in women’s football.
“When I look at some of the names that are in there – Rachel Yankey, Kelly Smith, Karen Carney – they are all fantastic football players, but also fantastic people, so to have my name alongside them is something very special.
“It’s something I can show the family and hopefully they will be very proud.”
Everyone at Manchester City would like to congratulate Jill on her induction into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame!
