[7] A plaque honouring England, as part of the "Where Greatness Is Made" campaign, was installed at Junior Tykes F.C.

[9] At Barnsley College, her former football coaches remember her scoring the best goal many of them had ever seen at the Whitsuntide Tournament in Spain.

Mark Ryan, manager of the college's sport academy, noted, "The goalkeeper kicked the ball from the edge of the box.

She watched the ball come over her left shoulder and she hit it, first time, from just inside the opposition half.

At the age of 17, England established herself in Doncaster Rovers Belles' first team during the second half of the 2011 FA WSL season.

We feel that she is now coming in to her peak as a player and look forward to seeing how she continues to develop for both club and country in the upcoming years.
