When Ellen White ran through on goal after 15 minutes against Japan on Wednesday, there was essentially zero doubt in most people’s mind that she would score.
The same again on 85 minutes. The reason for that is…well, she’s Ellen White.
She is the sort of player all fans would like to think they would be on the pitch. She plays with a smile on her face but with the sort of bullish intensity every single one of us is desperate to see in our number nine. An out and out striker who leads by example and has an eye for goal.
