‘The Lionesses cavorted in joyous communion with fans watching on’
LAYTH YOUSIF speaks to Jen McKenzie, who played football for England U16s in the early 1990s, about last week’s Wembley triumph

HELLO, how’s your week been? Never mind the start of the new Premier League season, I’m still buzzing about the magnificent Lionesses Wembley triumph over Germany at Wembley.
How utterly wonderful was England’s gripping 2-1 win in extra time? I managed to take my eldest daughter to the sold-out national stadium on Sunday and it was a memorable day from start to finish.
Never mind the fact that just over a year ago I had feared for my safety along Wembley Way before England vs Italy on an apocalyptic day for the men’s game. Contrast that to the festive atmosphere on the Tube and everywhere around Wembley before the game.
