Lioness Ella Toone’s former PE teacher said it is "not a surprise" that the midfielder reached her first World Cup final after England beat Australia 3-1 on Wednesday.
Chris Nuttall, PE teacher at Fred Longworth High School in Tyldesley, Wigan, who taught Toone from Year 9 to Year 11, said he saw the midfielder’s potential at school and "could tell" she would achieve great success in football.
