Lioness Jill Scott records touching message for first captain thanking her for 'paving way'

Lioness legend Jill Scott has thanked the first ever women's captain Sheila Parker for "paving the way" for their success.

The England midfielder, 35, filmed a touching video to Sheila, 75, at the Manchester coffee shop she runs with her partner Shelly, before the pair jet-off on a well-deserved holiday.

Happily posing with her Gold medal from Sunday’s spectacular defeat over Germany, she says in the personal video: "Hi Sheila, I wanted you to know that you are part of the Lioness family - the first ever captain, here's the Gold medal and I hope you know you've played your part as well. So from everyone who is now in the Lionesses, thank you so much for paving the way for us all and I hope you know you're appreciated - thank you!"
