'Play like the star you are': Harrogate gets behind Rachel Daly ahead of Euro final
Harrogate has thrown its support behind Rachel Daly ahead of England’s Euro final against Germany on Sunday.
Daly, who went to Saltergate and Rossett schools in Harrogate, will be among the squad which walks out on the hallowed turf at Wembley in front of a sellout crowd.
The Lionesses have captured the hearts of a nation during the tournament, which has seen late goals and thrashings of the likes of Norway.
Ahead of the semi-final against Spain, Mike Sweetman, who coached Daly at Rossett, told the Stray Ferret he was not surprised at her success.
“I’m not surprised she has had more than 50 caps for England.
'Play like the star you are'
Now, Daly has the chance to make history and help lead England to their first Euro trophy.
Ahead of the seismic tie against Germany at 5pm on Sunday, the Stray Ferret asked our readers on social media what message they had for Daly as she prepares for the big game.
