Footballer turned pundit Alex Scott had a few words for the clubs that were sceptical about the womens Euros ahead of this year’s tournament which ended with England’s historic 2-1 win over Germany.
The BBC analyst, who made 140 appearances for the England national team, went viral with this message in the wake of the Lionesses’ epic triumph.

Loving Alex Scott sticking it to people on air who refused to allow their stadiums be used for women's games in previous tournaments – "you've missed the boat now" ππ

All the politicians & people jumping on the old bandwagon.
But were they making noise when, 4 years ago, the decision was made to play #EURO2022 games at Man City's ACADEMY GROUND.

So easy to be rose-tinted at a moment of national joy. Alex Scott wasn't. And it was great to hear β and to hear it said with such passion. https://t.co/WKAjOOOF29
