The youngsters at St Michael's Church of England Primary School in Trafford had an experience they'll never forget last week as they spent the morning playing with Lego and quizzing England international Lucy Bronze as part of a new campaign encouraging children to think about their role models and challenge gender stereotypes.
"When I was that age at school, I wouldn't have known as much about women's football because it just wasn't anywhere, whereas I walk in and they’re like ‘that’s Lucy Bronze!’" the Manchester City defender told MEN Sport .
"It was nice that they had loads and loads of questions to ask. They’ve still just got no filter to just ask anything. And it works with the Lego because they're really creative but then they just come up with some funny things when they were making. I never got to play with Lego when I was at school so they can count themselves very lucky today."
