HRH The Duke of Cambridge hosted England’s Under-20s World Cup-winning squad at Kensington Palace on Thursday.
Having lifted the trophy out in South Korea in the summer, the young Lions – featuring five Everton youngsters – met with Prince William in London to be congratulated on their history-making achievement.
The Under-20s became the first England team to win a World Cup at any level since Bobby Moore famously lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy for the senior team at Wembley in 1966.
Blues striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, of course, proved the hero in the final when he netted the winner against Columbia, while Jonjoe Kenny was an ever-present for Paul Simpson’s side.
