This old local paper front page went wildly viral because what a difference 24 years makes

It’s been a few days now since the Lionesses’ historic 2-1 win over Germany in the final of the European Championships, but the buzz has shown no sign of dying down just yet.

And this was just fabulous, an old local newspaper front page from 1998 which was brought bang up to date on Twitter.

The local paper, @bucks_herald from 1998. I remember it well. Wonder if Ellen carried on playing? #football #womensfootball #England pic.twitter.com/e5xNW4rlpo
