SUPERSUB WITH KILLER BACKHEEL

-

Alessia Russo, 23, Manchester United

OF SICILIAN descent, Alessia has football in her blood. Dad Mario says it was ‘non-negotiable’ that she would join her brothers on the pitch as a little girl. Her mindblowin­g backheeled goal as a substitute was the highlight of England’s 4-0 semi-final win against Sweden.

Has been dubbed ‘lessi’ by fans, as a nod to Argentinia­n legend lionel Messi. Scored the fastest ever hat-trick by an England player — 11 minutes — in November last year.
