As Sarina Wiegman's England squad ramp up their preparations for the upcoming Women's World Cup, there's one Lioness whose focus is firmly fixed on a different summer tournament.
Annie Booth, 55, last year made history by becoming the first woman to be selected for the newly-formed England Parkinson's Walking Football Team. And now, less than 12 months on, the Stockport-native has managed to assemble the Parkinson's Pioneers; the first ever walking football team catering exclusively to women living with the condition.
"There’s 12 women that I’ve gathered together living with Parkinson's and we’ve got our first training game and tournament in June," Booth told Mirror Football. "It’s something new for our community and I’m really proud of that because I might have been the first Parkinsons Lioness but I won’t be the last."
