A Lioness who won the Euros with England earlier this year is set to become just the third person, and the first woman, to receive a lifetime Merseyside honour.
Bootle -born Alex Greenwood was announced yesterday by Sefton Council as the next person to receive the illustrious Freedom of Sefton, following Jamie Carragher and Donald 'Ginger' McCain. The 29-year-old who has featured for both Merseyside teams, Manchester United and now Manchester City, will have her name on Sefton's Honorary Freedom Scroll after a Full Council voted in favour of giving the footballer the highest honour Sefton Council can give to an individual.
It follows Sefton Council conferring Honorary Freedom of the Borough status on Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Southport & Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust following the COVID-19 pandemic.
