      In recent years, they have grown from strength to strength – launching pop up shops around the globe and selling over 1,000 shirts a day.
      Earlier this month, they visited LA, Miami and New York, where they met David Beckham and Giorgio Chiellini.
      While back in 2021, they successfully reunited Ian Wright with his old memorabilia.
      The shirts, themselves, provide talking points and long-lasting memories that makes them even more valuable.

      Some ark back to the great players that wore them, while others are groundbreaking designs that have been repeated in kits of today.
      In good nick, they can net you a fortune.
      However, there is one kit that could be worth as much as £1,000.
      What makes a kit valuable?
      The Euros and World Cup are huge triggers for nostalgia.
      Most read in Football
      That’s why the most valuable shirts are linked to those tournaments.
      “The World Cup sends everything crazy because football shirts evoke memories,” Bierton told SunSport.
      “You remember where you were when you watched your first World Cup match. You clips and reruns of old tournaments on the TV in the build-up to the tournament.
      “Then, you see the shirts the players are wearing and you think, ‘I wouldn’t mind being like the Brazilian Ronaldo, scoring loads of goals and having that shirt he wore.”
      He continued: “I was obsessed with the 1990 World Cup.
      “I was five, and I don’t really remember watching the games that much.
      “But I had the highlights on VHS and me and my brother watched it so many times, we burnt the video out in the end.
      “Moments like England taking on Cameroon and Lineker scoring the penalties, (Sergio) Goycochea becoming a hero against Italy with a gold chain hanging out his shirt.
      “(Frank) Rijkaard spitting at (Rudi) Voller, Paul Gascoigne tears… it was the time before football was really commercialised.”

      Three Lions on a shirt
      For that reason, his favourite top is England’s Umbro kit of that era, as worn by David Platt, Gary Lineker, Terry Butcher and Paul Gascoigne.
      But it’s the Admiral number from the 1982 World Cup that was the most commerical.
      Today, in mint condition, that sells for £350.
      “The one that’s voted for as the most popular is normally the 1982 shirt, with the design across the shoulders as worn by Kevin Keegan.
      “If you think back to 1966 and before and beyond, it was just a plain white shirt for England.
      “But Admiral were the ones who did something a bit more bold, which makes it cool.”
      How they get their hands on shirts
      Finding the shirts can prove tricky for Doug and Matthew, although somehow they have become well-stocked.
      “I can’t tell you all the trade secrets, but sometimes sourcing shirts comes with great difficulty,” Doug revealed.
      In mint condition England’s 1982 World Cup shirt could cost as much as £350
      Germany’s famous 1990 kit and Holland’s iconic 1988 shirt are collector’s items – but what’s the most expensive?
      “We’ve been going for 15-years now, so we’ve got a lot of contacts in place to be able to find the items.
      “We look in the clearance section, where you can get shirts from £9.99 that you can’t get on the high street, or we get them from clubs and manufacturers around the world.
      “We also work with players to get very rare match-worn shirts and people get in touch with us and offer us their old shirts, which we do trades and valuations for.”
      So, what’s the valuable?
      There are honourable mentions for Germany’s 1990 World Cup kit as one of the most sought after, as well as USA’s 1994 shirt they wore when they hosted the tournament.
      Doug explained: “The flag pattern across the chest of the Germany shirt was so different for the time. It really revolutionised football shirts from that moment on.
      “Graphics and bold designs became much more prominent, which makes it a very important piece.
      The German shirt is worth around £200, depending on the condition. I’d say the USA shirt could go for around £500.”
      But, according to Classic Football Shirts it’s these three that are the most valuable.
      The Netherlands 1988 Euros shirt, as worn by Marco Van Basten and Ruud Gullit, is the most expensive at £1,000.

      What happened to Sir Alex Ferguson’s 7 ‘terrific’ Man Utd prospects including midfielder he swore at down the phone

      by

      SIR ALEX FERGUSON helped to produce some top talents during his 26-year tenure at Manchester United.From David Beckham and Nicky Butt to Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, the legendary manager nurtured several academy hopefuls and turned them into Premier League and European champions.
      Sir Alex Ferguson tipped seven Man Utd youngsters for greatness in 2001Credit: Reuters
      And in 2001, shortly after winning his seventh league title, Ferguson tipped seven stars for greatness.
      He said: “We’ve got some terrific prospects at Old Trafford.
      “Darren Fletcher, who we hope will get over his broken leg, is good. Michael Stewart and Luke Chadwick are doing very well, and John O’Shea’s doing well too.
      “There’s a young left back called Paul Tierney who’s doing well, as is Danny Pugh.
      Read More on Man Utd
      “But there’s a young boy who has started now, he’s 16, called Kieran Richardson. He’s going to be a fantastic player.”
      While some went on to become United icons, others went on to enjoy time elsewhere in England and Scotland.
      But what happened to them all?
      Darren Fletcher
      Every Man Utd fan, no matter how young or old, will likely recognise the name Darren Fletcher.
      Most read in Football
      The midfielder joined United’s academy at the age of 11 and signed his first contract four years later.
      Fletcher made his first team debut in 2003 and went on to spend 12 years at Old Trafford, winning five Premier League titles, three League Cups, an FA Cup and a Champions League title.
      After leaving Man Utd he enjoys spells with West Brom and Stoke City before retiring in 2020.
      The former Scotland international is now technical director at Old Trafford.

      Michael Stewart
      The midfielder signed his first professional contract with Man Utd in 1998, but found game time hard to come by.
      He made just 14 senior appearances before leaving in 2005 to join Hibernian.
      Stewart went on to spend time with Hearts, Turkish side Gençlerbirliği SK and Charlton before retiring in 2011.
      The 42-year-old now works as a pundit on BBC and TNT Sports, usually covering the Scottish Premiership.

      Luke Chadwick
      Chadwick made his professional debut for the Red Devils in 1999 against Aston Villa.
      However, he struggled to establish himself as a regular first team player and was subsequently loaned out five times – twice to Royal Antwerp, twice to Reading and once to Burnley.
      The midfielder eventually left Old Trafford in 2004 after making 38 appearances.
      He went on to play for West Ham, Stoke, Norwich, MK Dons, Cambridge United and non-league side Soham Town Rangers before retiring in 2016.
      Chadwick is now involved with Football Fun, a program that aims to help young children enjoy the sport.

      John O’Shea
      O’Shea signed his first professional contract for Man Utd at the age of 17 and made his first team debut in a League Cup defeat to Aston Villa in 1999 – at the same time as Chadwick.
      The defender went on to win five Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup with the Red Devils before leaving in 2011.
      He then went on to play for Sunderland and Reading.
      After retiring from football in 2019 O’Shea turned to coaching and has since worked with Reading, Republic of Ireland and Stoke.
      He is now Wayne Rooney’s assistant at Birmingham City.

      Paul Tierney
      The full-back signed his first professional contract with Man Utd in 2000, but struggled to break into the first team.
      His first, and only, appearance for the Red Devils came in a League Cup defeat to West Brom in 2003.
      Following several loan spells, he was eventually sold to Livingston in 2005 and also went on to play for Blackpool, Stockport and Altrincham.
      He stepped away from football in 2009 and is now a Council Tax Team Leader for Salford City Council.
      Danny Pugh
      Pugh made his Man Utd debut in a Champions League group stage match against Maccabi Haifa in 2002, just a matter or days before his first Premier League appearance.
      He was limited to just seven senior appearances for United before joining Leeds.
      The midfielder then went on to play for nine different clubs across the English football pyramid.
      He is now a UEFA A Licensed Football Coach.
      Kieran Richardson
      Ferguson predicted that Richardson would become a “fantastic player” back in 2001.
      The winger and midfielder went on to win two Premier League titles and the FA Cup with United, making 81 appearances and scoring 11 goals.
      He left Old Trafford to sign for Sunderland in 2007, five years after making his professional debut.

      However, a cruel ruptured ACL injury back in April robbed her of the opportunity to lead her country out at the World Cup.
      But now Leah has returned to training and is eyeing a comeback in the new year to spearhead the Gunners’ title challenge in the WSL.
      Since her heroics with the Three Lions, she has become a hot commodity reportedly raking in £4million.
      Her bank balance boosted by deals with Gucci, Nike and Pepsi.
      Read more football news
      While the 26-year-old is also a regular feature on the red carpet, and recently attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards with pals Alex Scott, Chloe Kelly, and Mary Earps.

      She’s kind of a big deal
      Although Arsenal and WSL fans would have known her stock, Williamson’s grew during the Lionesses Euro 2022 campaign..
      With the North London giants, she is said to earn around £150,000-per-year.
      But it’s in sponsorships where she has well and truly prospered.
      Most read in Football
      Since her coming of age moment two summers ago, fashion house Gucci have signed her up as an ambassador, Pepsi made her front and centre of their ad campaigns, while Nike utilised her athletic frame to model their fashionable garments and Dyson have utilise her too.
      Alongside the likes of KSI, Anthony Joshua, Jude Bellingham, and Trent Alexander-Arnold she has also appeared in JD Sports photoshoots – showing off their streetwear collections.
      Arsenal also ensure she’s front and centre of any new clothing and kit launches they have.
      Because of this, Leah has well and truly become a figure of fashion.
      Magazines like Vogue, GQ and Elle have featured her in fancy fashion shoots.
      Experts have commented on her outfits as combining femininity with masculinity.
      She told Elle: “In the industry I work in, women have had a lot of oppression. So, I don’t like to stick to the status quo or the norm with my clothes. I like to step out of that, and that’s where embracing that masculine side of dress comes from.
      “I just think it’s a good way to kind of stick your fingers up at everybody else, and say this is what I want to wear and I’m going to wear it.”

      Music drives her agenda
      For every game she plays, music fan Leah makes a playlist.
      Whether it’s for Arsenal or England, she makes sure the kit man has it and the music she chooses features in the dressing room.
      It’s the perfect way to connect with her teammates and remember moments in her career.
      “I love how music makes people feel, and how you can connect with people – most conversations I have with the girls come off the back of music,” she told GQ.
      “I like it because when you think back to key moments, you always remember the music that was playing.”
      ABBA’s Does Your Mother Know was a particular favourite during the Euros.
      “It’s become a massive song for us,” she recalled.
      Music is an important aspect of Leah’s life
      Leah regularly draws up playlists for her teammates and has a sponsorship with Dyson – sporting their headphones in this ad

      “We played it before one of the warm-up games and Ella Toone, for whatever reason, went a bit crazy for it. She went out and scored, and then afterwards she was like, ‘Can we have that before every game?’ I went, ‘Yeah! You continue to score, I’ll play what you want.'”
      Comparing them both, she said: “Nothing makes me feel the way football or music do. But you choose which song you want to put on… football is out of your control.”
      On her travels
      When she can, Leah makes the best time of the off season by going on swanky holidays.
      Back in June, she was joined by fellow Lionesses star Keira Walsh for a trip to Ibiza.
      The pair wore matching black bikinis in snaps shared on Instagram, as they showed off their bronzed bodies.
      They also hired a yacht and partied at a luxury beach club.
      The Balearic island seems to be Leah’s favourite place to visit.
      She was also there a year earlier with teammate Beth Mead, where they enjoyed posh dinner at STK – chowing down on steak and truffle fries.
      The next night, Leah was seen at club Ushuaia where she was spotted dancing wearing a bucket hat and jeans.

      Leah speaking at the UN General Assembly
      In August, she visited Za’atari in Jordan, the world’s largest Syrian refugee camp.
      A month later, she addressed the United Nations’ General Assembly in New York and made a plea to challenge gender stereotypes and level the playing field for girls around the world.
      ‘You’re my best friend’
      Although she holds many friends in the game, it’s BBC Sport presenter Alex Scott who seems to be her closest pal.
      The pair are inseparable, whether it’s going on holidays together or attending the same events and posing for the cameras.
      It is believed they have been friends for around three years, after meeting on the women’s football circuit.
      Together they attended the Brit Awards, GQ Men of the Year Awards, and the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, where they were joined by Scott’s girlfriend Jess Glynne.
      And Alex isn’t afraid of making fun of her pal, in a light-hearted moment that showed how close the pair are.
      At half-time during Arsenal’s WSL match against Aston Villa, she interviewed Leah and cheekily encouraged her to share a funny story about a visit to receive her OBE at Windsor Castle.
      Alex began: “Is this where I can tell everyone at home? Actually, you can actually. What went on with the outfit?”

      “The outfit, yeah, my trousers split,” she said, adding: “I received my OBE not in my best form, but no one knew about it until you just told the whole world, so thanks.”

      Our dad won it all for Chelsea and Barcelona – now we’re making our own way in football and starring for our country

      by

      A CHELSEA and Barcelona legend has a lot to be proud of when it comes to his celebrated football career.But now he also gets to brag about his three sons’ success, mainly in the national team where he is arguably remembered as the all-time best.

      The legendary striker joined the Premier League at the age of 20 as he signed for Bolton and a successful two-year stint led to Chelsea.
      The now 45-year-old enjoyed six successful years at Stamford Bridge where he won two back-to-back Premier League titles as well as the League Cup in 2005 and amassed 78 goals in 263 appearances.
      The Iceland legend moved to Barcelona in 2006 where he registered 19 goals and 10 assists in 114 games and spent three years at the Nou Camp where he also won the Treble in 2009.
      The forward then underwent quite a nomadic career that saw him returning to England for Tottenham, Fulham, Stoke and former club Bolton.
      Read More on Chelsea
      The Icelandic hero also played for Monaco, AEK Athens, Cercle Brugge, Club Brugge, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Molde and Pune City before his retirement in 2016.
      Have you figured him out yet? Here’s one last clue: He picked up 26 goals in 88 caps for his country…
      And it’s of course Eidur Gudjohnsen, who now sees his three sons following in his footsteps as they all play as strikers.
      Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen
      Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen is Eidur’s oldest as he was born in 1998 when his dad had just moved to the UK.
      Most read in Football
      Sveinn’s started out at Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy in 2006 when he moved to Catalonia alongside his father and the rest of the family.
      Five years later the forward joined Spanish side Gava until 2015 when he moved back to Iceland for HK where his senior career kicked off.
      After a short stint at Icelandic outfits Valur and Breidablik the 25-year-old moved to Italy in 2018 for Spezia, who sent him out on loan to Ravenna as well as Odense.
      Sveinn has been plying his trade in Swedish club Elfsborg since 2021 and has amassed two goals in 20 caps for Iceland.

      Andri Gudjohnsen
      Andri Gudjohnsen started his youth career at Barcelona as well, but he joined La Masia a year after his dad left the Nou Camp and spent three seasons learning from the best.
      The 21-year-old then joined Sveinn in Gava for two years and his impressive performances led him to Espanyol as well as Real Madrid in 2018.
      The forward managed to turn some heads in Madrid and was promoted to Real’s B team in 2021 where he amassed four goals in 21 matches.
      However, Andri never made it to Los Blancos’ first team and was offloaded in 2022 to Swedish outfit Norrkoping, who sent him out on loan to Danish side Lyngby in August.
      The striker never played for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but has registered five goals in 18 senior appearances for Iceland.

      Daniel Gudjohnsen
      The youngest of the bunch, Daniel Gudjohnsen also played for Gava where he started out his youth career in 2011.
      Four years later he also went to Barcelona’s La Masia academy until 2019 when he joined Andri at Real Madrid.
      However, the 17-year-old only lasted three years in Madrid before moving to Sweden for Malmo.
      After a successful year in the Swedish giants’ youth set up, Daniel was called up to the senior squad where he has only played once, making his debut in June.

      The forward is too young to play for Iceland but is currently part of the national team’s Under-19 side.

      I played for Newcastle United & Nottingham Forest but I gave up on my football dreams… and now I’m a qualified doctor

      by

      A FOOTBALLER who played for Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest gave up on his dreams but is now a qualified psychologist.David Blakelock, 40, was scouted by the Magpies at the age of nine, and spent four years in the youth ranks as a forward.

      But Kevin Keegan’s infamous decision to scrap reserve-team fixtures led the future psychologist to question his pathway and ultimately leave Newcastle United.
      He was later on the books at Nottingham Forest before ultimately falling out of love with the sport.
      But Dr Blakelock turned his focus to education and ended up becoming a qualified psychologist after years of hard graft.
      And his current research touches on his sporting past, looking into furthering the understanding of how footballers handle the transition to life after the sport.

      Dr Blakelock, who described his time at Newcastle as a “great experience”, told ChronicleLive: “I was quite a good student but I’d prioritised football for a lot of years. That was my main focus.
      “There was a sense then that everything was focusing on the first team.
      “I enjoyed my time at Newcastle, the training, the coaching and the team were all very good. We had the opportunity to be ball boys at Euro 96 and I remember Peter Beardsley came to train with us once.
      “I probably would have stayed at Newcastle. If I’d stayed there, who knows? I might have progressed through the age groups. You just can’t say.”
      Most read in Football
      Instead, at 14, he chose to sign a four-year agreement at Forest that would allow the aspiring footballer to continue his studies through to his A-Levels.
      However, it was a move that did not pan out as expected and led Blakelock to perhaps prematurely give up on his dream of making it as a professional.
      He said: “When I signed for Forest, I was quite well thought of by the coaching staff. I had a sense that the club and the coaches were the right fit for me and had a sense of belonging.
      “It wasn’t long after I signed, and there was a big change in the youth coaching staff. The new academy director had an intimidating and aggressive disposition.
      “I don’t think I was his type of player and he wasn’t my type of coach. I don’t think I’d have signed for Forest if he and some of the other coaches had been there from the start and they might not have signed me.”
      Dr Blakelock added that the club had also changed their stance on the education side and they said I wouldn’t be able to do A Levels.
      Describing himself as a “decent student”, he said that continuing with school was important and one of main reasons why he signed for Forest.
      “From there, although I had my contract, that initial sense of this being the right club and the feeling of belonging wasn’t there. I wasn’t enjoying playing and kind of fell out of love with football at an important time,” Dr Blakelock added.
      The amended agreement which allowed David to study in the North East and travel down to train on weekends and during school holidays furthered this “disconnect”, and in the end the attacker was all too willing to give up on football.
      He added: “I had the opportunity to go to Durham University and I didn’t really have a strong desire to get back into professional football.
      “I probably gave up a little too soon looking back. I possibly could have tried to really get back in training, get fit and play more to give myself another chance.
      “A few regrets maybe as I don’t think I fulfilled my potential but you can’t change what’s happened. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do.”
      I wasn’t enjoying playing and kind of fell out of love with football at an important time.”Dr David Blakelock, 40
      Psychology provided a pathway for the former player to explore new interests, and it was while studying for his doctorate that he began to explore the mental toll life after football can take.
      Dr Blakelock has since juggled full-time work with his research, saying: “Research has also shown that not every player experiences mental health difficulties.
      “Some players can be happy and actually relieved that they don’t have to maintain high standards of performance and perform under pressure all the time. They can relax a bit, it’s very hard training, playing and being under scrutiny all the time.
      “Some might experience difficulties straight after their careers end and for others, difficulties can come a bit later. For some, difficulties might not last long, but it can persist for others.”
      The ex-footy player wants to help develop a greater understanding for footballers adjusting to life after the sport.
      It comes after a Prem star who was raking it in on £40,000 a week during his playing days now can’t even afford a phone.
      He was a footballing hero as captain of West Ham and played in the 2006 World Cup.
      Meanwhile, a former Premier League player who made his England debut when replacing Harry Kane has had a very different career path.

      The Brazilian has disappointed with with just five goals in 44 appearances since joining Tottenham from Everton and is currently out of action following a groin op.
      The pretty 20-year-old who is a law student at a private university in Sao Paulo, has already stayed at the footballer’s £4m house in North London.
      Speaking ahead of her visit, Araujo admitted her first stay proved a disaster when she left the bedroom door open and one of Richarlison’s dogs ended up using it as a toilet.
      The footballer owns a Siberian husky called Acerola and a chocolate Labrador called Layla he got as a puppy around three years ago while he was still at Everton.

      Araujo, a sports fanatic who practices Crossfit and plays handball, said of her gaffe: “When I arrived at Ric’s house he wasn’t there.
      “I slept the first night there without him because he was in another city playing.”
      In quotes published by Brazilian media overnight, she added: “The people who were there left the house and I left his bedroom door open because no-one told me I couldn’t.
      “When people started returning there was pee everywhere.

      “There was wee-wee on the bed, below the bed, on the floor.
      “Rick was going to arrive after me and I was worried he was going to think it was me.
      “I sent him a message and talked to him. He responded by saying: ‘Congratulations.’”
      Araujo responded with a heart emoticon after Richarlison, who has recently opened up on his mental health struggles and said he would seek professional help after a “turbulent time” off the pitch, posted a selfie of him in hospital following groin surgery on November 9.
      The Spurs striker posted his own heart emoji after his girlfriend treated her 116,000 Instagram followers to a photo of her in a white bikini recently before a mud facial.
      The couple were seen together for the first time in July when they holidayed with friends in Brazil.
      In April it was reported the footballer was facing an RSPCA investigation over claims his two dogs were a “noisy nuisance.”
      Neighbours claimed his dogs relentlessly barked and howled and escaped regularly.

      The Spurs forward made an appeal on Twitter in December 2019 after Siberian husky Acerola ran off and the pair were reunited two hours later.
      A spokesman for Tottenham Hotspur said after the reports about his barking dogs were published: “We are liaising with the player and his representatives.”

      Helping her juggle her life as a professional footballer and a showbiz star is longterm boyfriend Scott Moore.
      They have been dating for four years, and share a cute pooch together.

      And she regularly shares their luxurious trips abroad together on social media…
      Famous face
      Since becoming a national hero after her exploits with Sarina Wiegman’s side, Chloe is now a regular on the red carpet.
      She often appears with pals Leah Williamson and Alessia Russo, who are also now seen on the celebrity circuit.
      Back in October, fashion bible Glamour invited Kelly to their inaugural awards show.

      And she certainly turned heads with her outfit choice.
      The little black number she wore showed off her amazing athletic figure.
      It was no surprise that Geri Horner, ‘Ginger Spice’ of Spice Girl fame, took an opportunity to pose with Chloe and team-mates Jess Carter, Bethany England, and Alessia Russo.
      A month later, Chloe stunned at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in another elegant black dress and was snapped alongside Alex Scott, Mary Earps and Leah Williamson.

      In her Calvins
      With her status and enviable physique, it was inevitable Chloe would be fodder for fashion campaigns.
      Before the World Cup, the blonde beauty stripped down for an artsy black and white Cavlin Klein photoshoot.
      USA star Alex Morgan was also chosen for the ads that aimed to celebrate women footballers’ ‘athleticism and strength’.
      The fashion house also released a video for the shoot, again in black and white, with the title ‘icons seen naturally’.
      Chloe modelled Calvin Kleins’ famous cotton underwear, as well as their essential baggy jeans style.
      She shared the results on her Instagram with a video amusingly captioned: “CK by CK.”

      Life with Scott Moore
      For four years Chloe has been in a romance with Scott.
      It is not known how they first met.
      He is reportedly a greenkeeper at a golf club, although he keeps his relationship away from social media with his Instagram set to private.
      That said, he is his partner’s greatest supporter.
      Following England’s Euros triumph, Scott was pictured wearing an England shirt with his girlfriend’s name emblazoned on the back.
      It is Chloe who does the most sharing on Insta, often uploading snaps of her and Scott with their cute cockapoo called Otis.
      They share a minimalist-style home together in Manchester.

      Amazing trips abroad
      Chloe has enjoyed basking in her glory, taking in enviable holidays with Scott.
      On Instagram she often chronicles her travels.
      There are plenty of pictures in bikinis, sunning her athletic body while keeping in fashion with designer sunglasses from brands including Prada.
      This summer she washed away her World Cup blues by raving in Ibiza.
      She was seen wearing a Burberry flannel top alongside a friend in the first snap in the collection.
      She then shared a video of a party at popular beachfront dance club Ushuaïa, which was visited by team-mate Keira Walsh, injured Lioness Leah Williamson and BBC host Alex Scott earlier that summer.
      Chloe kept with the Burberry theme when she met Ibiza party guru Wayne Lineker.

      Wayne Lineker invited Chloe to his O Beach Club in Ibiza
      Lineker shared a picture of himself and Kelly on Instagram at his infamous O Beach Club.
      Not forgetting what she’s paid for…
      Of course, a wonderful lifestyle aside, Chloe is a hell of a player for club and country.
      This season she’s added goals to her game – scoring five times in 10 matches for Manchester City in all competitions.
      While for her country, she has netted seven times in 37 games.
      Honours won, apart from that fabulous Euros triumph, include the Women’s FA Cup in 2020, and the Women’s League Cup in 2022.
      And she’s certainly not afraid of a bit of cheek on the pitch.
      In the recent Manchester derby she brutally trolled United fans by cupping her ear when her side scored and then put her finger to her lips to emphasise silencing them.
      But nothing tops her most famous goal celebration of all time, when she tore off her shirt in front of a sell-out crowd against Germany in the final.

      She certainly enjoys being herself on the ptich.
      She told Women’s Health: “It is really important to have that personality that I try to bring on the pitch.
      “I try to just be creative, free and just play with a smile.
      “That little girl is still inside me, the one that loves playing football.” More
