And she brought it home. What a resilient hard working dedicated human. Congrats Leah! And the entire lionesses squad!

[@Echoes1910]

Leah is one classy lady. A great footballer, leader, intelligent and family focused. The way the girls looked at her in this clip, she’s an absolute idol and role model to them. She’s the best role model in the English game, male or female.

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

In the way she conducts herself and the way she plays the game, Leah Williamson reminds me in every way of Sir Bobby Moore. I can pay no greater compliment to a footballer.

[@ifisme]

I've now seen 2 truly great captains in football, Carles Puyol & Leah Williamson.

[@Vince-tp5vr]

“Just bring back that trophy”. done and dusted. Great job to the lionesses and their captain Leah Williamson. 🏆 ⚽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@seanadamson280]

She has a lovely temperament

[@darcey1055]

When i joined football i started playing in a boys team simulator to Leah i had boys laughing at me but my teammates would protect me but they knew that i would get back at them. One boy laughed at me so to get back at him i scored and laughed at him, it kept him quiet for the rest of that game so i was proud

[@quad-ex8021]

I was so happy when I found out she was born in my home town

Lucky. I'm from Leeds. I have been wanting to join the Leeds United academy sound I was 8 but we couldn't figure out how. I'm 13 now and my dreams of being a professional footballer are kinda dissapearing

[@Parkerlee1000]

Yes Leah big up Milton Keynes I went to Ousedale school aswell in Newport

[@docostler]

Leah is just such an exceptional human being. So well spoken, such a mature attitude and a great football player. The youth of today can have no better a role model. Many adults could also benefit.

[@hehehhh7597]
