Kalvin Phillips’ partner, Ashleigh Behan, has posted on Twitter that she is ‘so, so proud’ of the Leeds man as he prepares for the greatest night of his career.
England take on Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, with Leeds’ academy product expected to start in the middle of the park.
Just like the late great, Jack Charlton in 1966, Phillips is hoping to represent Leeds loud and proud tonight.
And ahead of the Leeds midfielder potentially writing his name into legendary status, this is what his partner wrote on her Twitter page:
55 years of hurt and now one night at Wembley can wipe out all the pain, generations and generations of England fans have been going through.
From penalty shoot-out heartache to the German’s, David Seaman being lobbed by Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo’s wink to that defeat against Iceland.
The Three Lions have been through it all, but they deserve their spot in tonight’s highly-pressured final.
England’s midfield duo – Phillips and Declan Rice – who have been outstanding during this campaign – will be crucial in stopping an aggressive, quick-thinking and tactically clever Italian midfield.
