Georgia Stanway: ‘If England win the World Cup I’ll happily retire – that’s all my dreams’

Georgia Stanway has more than 100 tiny tattoos inked into her skin and, stretching out her arms to show me some of them, she reveals that since helping England win a second consecutive Euros at the heart of their midfield this summer, “I’ve probably had about 10 new ones. Sometimes, I’ll be sat in the living room and say: ‘Ah, let’s just go to the studio.’”

The numbers 19:32 stand out in blue on one arm and she says: “That’s the time the final whistle blew when we won [2022] the Euros and on the back of my arm I’ve got II in Roman numerals because we’ve won it twice now. But I’ve obviously got plenty of random and sentimental tattoos as well.”
