Fran Kirby is witnessing the nation waking up to women’s football on a scale never seen before and having had a smile put on her face by the public, the England forward is hoping to return the favour.
Kirby has started all of England’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 games so far as the hosts have reached their fourth semi-final in a row, where they will take on Sweden, and she and her fellow Lionesses have been cheered down the streets around their base camp in Teddington.
The Chelsea stalwart has been part of the past three semi-finals which have all ended in heartbreak, but she knows that England going one or two better can give the country a much-needed boost.
