Euro-winning Lioness Nikita Parris has given a group of unsuspecting youngsters the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of playing football with her.
The Manchester United forward, who has been capped 65 times for England, arrived at her childhood football club in Toxteth for an early morning kickaround, surprising the under 12s team.
As the girls sat down to breakfast, Parris gave them a stirring talk about coming from the area and achieving her dreams of playing the beautiful game professionally – before getting underway with some shooting practice.
