How The Lionesses Inspired Me

The Lionesses winning the European Championships was a huge inspiration to me. How will it inspire you?

This week, football came home. The England Women’s team beat eight-time winners Germany to take the crown, the first major footballing honour for our country since 1966. Even writing that gives me goosebumps. My wife and I bought tickets to the final ages ago, hoping England would make it. Not only did we make it, we only went and won it.

I bought my first T-shirt aged 10, went to my first match aged 16, even moved to Stoke Newington so I could walk to games. I’ve also been a member at Spurs for the past 12 years.
