Ella Toone has penned a heartfelt tribute to her father, who she lost to cancer last September a few days before his 60th birthday, describing how she is ‘still processing’ but ‘wanted to write this, for anyone grieving and feeling alone’.

Toone, who came off the bench to score in the Euros final in 2022, has chosen to address the devastating loss for the first time in a candid open letter to fans in The Players Tribune.

‘For the past few months, I’ve been trying to figure it all out, trying to get unstuck,’ the Manchester United No 7 says.
