Following England’s final group game against China where Russo scored, the England and Manchester United legend sent a message to the Lioness
The star of the Euro 2022 final told how she swapped England shirts with Becks and he gave her tips before she flew out to Australia for the Women’s World Cup.
And he told her to always remember that the finals would be the ‘highlight of her career’. When she scored against China, she received a well done text to wish the team all the best Down Under.
Beckham earned 115 caps – 58 as captain for six years – and she said: “He has been one of my idols since I was a little girl. It was amazing to meet him, he was really really nice and it was a pinch me moment in terms of women’s sport.
“I was buzzing, everyone is a fan of the Beckhams and it was great to hear his daughter Harper was into the Lionesses.”
