Lioness star Alex Greenwood offered words of inspiration, encouragement and candid truths to football fans young and old in an intimate Q&A in celebration of International Women’s Day.
A five-year-old girl head-to-toe in an England kit stood to receive advice from her Lioness hero as Greenwood addressed the next generation, she told the ECHO: “It’s so nice and not just to see my name but seeing any of the girls' names on the back of kid’s shirts it's a really nice sight to see.
“And when we turn up to England games up and down the country and there’s little girls and boys running down the street and chasing the bus with our names on their backs is great.”
