England midfielder Elliot Anderson says his late mother would have been proud of the performance and victory the Three Lions earned in Mexico City to send them through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup 2026.
Anderson’s mother, Helen, died in April this year following a battle with cancer and tributes were made to her by the 23-year-old during a Nottingham Forest game shortly after her passing and after he was called up to England’s World Cup squad.
