Our hero of the week is the inspirational Lucy Bronze
This week’s hero plays for Olympique Lyonnais and is the best right-back in the world. Hailing from the gloriously wild lands of Northumberland, she has played for Sunderland, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City before moving to France. She has also played for England at every level and scored one of the goals of this year’s World Cup. She has a very heavy trophy cabinet. There is no doubt that she has worked with a rare determination to get where she is today and overcome many hurdles and obstacles. Ten years ago, aged just 17, she moved to North Carolina to study at UNC and was so impressive that she won a scholarship and went on to feature prominently in midfield for the Tar Heels varsity team. She was the first British player to win the NCAA Cup. But at 18 she suffered a knee injury and by 23 had had four operations on it, pretty much having to work on her own to recover because of the lack of support. Speaking to the Telegraph she said: “I think the injuries weren’t the problem, it’s more the fact that I didn’t have any support from…well, I only had it from my mum. And I was playing for England. I was playing for teams at the time. Nothing was as professional as it is now, so I just got left to my own devices. I didn’t really know what I was doing.” Now playing for the best team in the world and picking up trophies left to right and center, she’s only too aware of her position as a role model and an inspiration when she says “I think it’s important women are empowered to do anything”. That’ll be the wonderful, the marvelous, the golden Lucy Bronze, then.
