Not surprisingly, England right back Lucy Bronze – born in Berwick and raised on Holy Island and in Belford before going to school in Alnwick - features prominently.

We’ve also found a number of team pictures from Alnwick, Amble, Berwick, Longhoughton, Lowick, Wooler and Whittingham which are sure to bring back some fond memories.
