      The trio also wore Pudsey Bear lapel pins to mark the TV fundraiser, which is held next month.
      Earlier this month England’s Lionesses were understood to be seeking around £100,000 each in bonuses had they won the World Cup Down Under.
      After losing 1-0 to Spain in the final, they were willing to accept half that amount.
      According to the Mail, players were set for “crunch talks” with FA chiefs.

      They claim that players are “aware” of their possible actions and could choose to press on with the “nuclear option” of ceasing all commercial work for the FA.
      It’s even claimed that they could refuse to play until a resolution is reached, although this option has “not yet been directly suggested”.
      England’s pay from the FA is currently negotiated before or after each tournament – although players want more “clarity” moving forward.
      This cash pot comes from prize money and commercial revenue received by the FA for the players’ performances.

      Prior to the women’s World Cup, the FA imposed commercial restrictions on their own players.
      This was because chiefs were concerned that individual player deals could upset their own.

      I played in the Premier League and won a European trophy but now I’m a PE teacher at a £5,000-a-term school

      by

      A FORMER Chelsea defender is now teaching PE at a £5,000-a-term primary school after helping the Blues win the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1998.Danny Granville, 48, was appearing in Blue for the first time since that famous night in Stockholm when Gianfranco Zola scored the only goal of the game against Stuttgart.

      That win saw Chelsea lift European silverware for the time since 1971, with Granville playing the full 90 minutes at left-back.
      A £300,000 signing from Cambridge United in 1997, the Euro winner played just one season at Stamford Bridge before being sold to bitter rivals Leeds United.
      But Chelsea made a £1.5 million profit on the Londoner – selling him for £1.8m – not a bad bit of business for a player whose last game was in Stockholm and who only played 20 matches for the club.
      After a season at Elland Road, he went on to play for Man City for two years – helping the club to promotion to the Premier League in 2001 – and for Crystal Palace, where he had his best spell.

      The star also helped the Eagles to promotion in 2003-04, playing almost 200 games in south London. He finished his career with brief spells at Colchester United and Leyton Orient before dropping down to non-League with Hemel Hempstead.
      Since retiring, Granville became a primary school teacher and is currently the Games Teacher at Duncombe School in Hertfordshire – a primary school where fees range from £4,500-a-term for reception to £6,000-a-term in Year 6.
      He has also coached with the Arsenal academy.

      The Saints-supporting PM said: “Last year the Lionesses’ victory changed the game.
      “Young girls know when they take to the pitch that football is for them and, thanks to the Lionesses, they too could be a part of the next generation to bring it home for their country.”
      England women’s captain Leah Williamson added: “The success of the summer has inspired so many young girls to pursue their passion for football.

      “We see it as our responsibility to open the doors for them to do so and this announcement makes that possible. This is the legacy that we want to live much longer than us as a team.”
      It follows the Let Girls Play joint campaign by the Lionesses and the FA following their Euros 22 triumph.
      Schools will be told that where it is wanted they must offer girls the same activities as boys – also including rugby and cricket – in lessons and after-school clubs.
      Ministers also want teachers to ring fence at least two hours a week for sports, although they cannot dictate how much of the curriculum it takes up.

      But Education Secretary Gillian Keegan insists it would be “great for both physical and mental health” as well as teamwork.
