A TEENAGE football star has left her mum and dad out of pocket after scoring more than 100 goals in one season.
Lottie Traxler, 13, is paid £1 a goal by parents David, 59, and Kelly — who never expected she would be so prolific.
The striker from Fleet, Hants, scored 110 goals for her school and club.
Kelly, 39, said: “I think next season we might only give her 50p. She’s cost us a fortune.”
Spurs fan Lottie has been picked up by the Inspirational Girls Football academy which aims to link young footballers with professional clubs.
She told The Sun: “I love scoring goals, it just makes me feel brilliant.”

She told The Sun: “I just love everything about football, but I love scoring goals, it just makes me feel brilliant.
