Lucy Bronze’s brother recalls her stunning journey from Morrisons worker to “icon superstar”

Ten years on from her days at Morrisons, Lucy Bronze is playing before an audience of nearly 80,000 people as the Lionesses prepare to take on the Aussies in their own backyard at the Women’s World Cup

Lucy Bronze’s brother told the Mirror he is in awe of his “icon superstar” sister, as he recalled how she once had to “bag-pack at Morrisons to raise funds for a bus” to her games.

Ten years on, Lucy is playing before an audience of nearly 80,000 people, as the Lionesses prepare to take on the Aussies in their own backyard at the Women’s World Cup.

The Matildas will have an enormous advantage with huge crowds turning out for the match in Sydney’s stadium, Australia, while 5,000 dedicated England supporters have flown Down Under to cheer on our girls. But in the stands, the most nervous fans will be the Lionesses’ own loved ones, who sit right behind the dugouts – including Lucy’s brother Jorge, 35, his wife Charis and their two children, Freddie, 3, and Alzira, 2.

Speaking to the Mirror, Jorge said: “We’ve been more nervous than Lucy but we tend to feel the nerves and the occasion more than she does, she’s been here a few times before having won a few Champions Leagues – this is just her day job at this point.
