Alex out to make a name for himself and step out of shadow of his celebrity namesake and half-sister

- BY NEIL MCLEMAN

ALEX SCOTT is fast making a name for himself in the Premier League.

But the Guernsey-born Bournemouth midfielder will still not be the most famous England star with the name, even if he makes his full debut against Serbia at Wembley tomorrow.

He's not even the most successful international player in his family.

The other Alex Scott won 140 caps for England, presents Football Focus and is heading into the jungle.

But the pair can still be confused by social media users.

"They said I've done well getting called up and going on I'm A Celebrity at the same time!" smiled Scott, 22.

"Alex Scott, the female footballer, has done amazing things for the country and in an England shirt. It's amazing for her and me to have the same name.

"If I do get on the pitch, I'm not sure if there's been many that have shared the name and both played for the country."
