Northumberland lass Lucy Bronze is 'inspiring all the teams coming through' at her former club in Alnwick.
The Berwick -born right back was instrumental in England's UEFA Women's Euro 2022 victory, starting every game and scoring in the 4-0 semi-final victory against Sweden on Tuesday. And nowhere was prouder than Alnwick, where she went to high school and kicked off her playing career.
Despite playing for Alnwick Town Juniors up to the age of 12, Lucy was forced to swap the club for Blyth as she wasn't allowed to play on the boys' team due to regulations at the time, though Alnwick now has a thriving women's side, partly inspired by her success.
