Often referred to as one of the best right-backs in women's football, Northumberland-born Lucy Bronze is a true North East success story.
After scoring England's second goal in the Lionesses 4-0 victory over Sweden on Tuesday, Bronze and the rest of the England Women's team will take on Germany in today's Women's EURO 2022 Final.
Their success in the tournament will be an inspiration to many young footballers who dream of pursuing a career in the sport. Bronze has previously admitted that growing up she never aspired to be representing England because she "didn't know that was even possible."
