In the heartbreaking aftermath of the World Cup final, a whole nation is absolutely bursting with pride for their Lionesses; our heroic runner ups. Madame Tussauds have announced that they will immortalise one of the team at their London attraction to commemorate their achievements. But it’s up to us to choose who!
Should it be Mary Earps with her Golden Glove? Chloe Kelly and her Golden Boot? Millie Bright, captain of the team who will forever go down in history? Leah Williamson, who captained the women to Euro’s victory? Alex Greenwood who, despite injury, just kept playing, playing, playing? Lucy Bronze, who was voted Star Player of the UEFA European Women’s Championship in 2022? Lauren James, Women’s Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards? Or indeed Head Coach herself, Sarina Wiegman?
Tim Waters, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “Like the rest of the nation we’re incredibly proud of the Lionesses. Not only for their success at the FIFA Women’s World Cup this year, but for their momentous win in Europe last year and all they have done for their sport -bringing women’s football roaring into the mainstream. They inspire and encourage so many, and we feel it’s only right what they have achieved is commemorated so we’re going to do that in the way that only Madame Tussauds London can.”
“The whole team have been outstanding, and they all brought so much to the World Cup, which makes it really difficult for us to pick who our expert artists should create. That’s why we’re putting it to the public, to help us decide who we should choose!”
