Switzerland international Lehmann was also taught how to drive a train and lapped up the chance to learn all about trains from the transport expert.

Lehmann did get a chance to show off her qualities too, showcasing her football skills to a bunch of starstruck young fans.

She is one of the most well-known stars in the women's game and has starred for Aston Villa this season, bagging four goals and two assists in 21 WSL appearances.

The 24-year-old has plenty of admirers on social media with over 13.2million followers to her name on the platform.

But despite her success on social media, Lehmann is adamant that she wants to be known for her football.

She told talkSPORT in February: "Some people just see Instagram and social media and don't even know I actually play football, when I don't post a football picture for a week, people say, 'Oh, she doesn't even play'.

"I think sometimes it's a bit hard because obviously I train every day, like everyone else, I play every weekend and sometimes it's hard because they make a picture of you.

"I'm a proper footballer. I work hard every day. I want to be the best version of myself in football and that's my first priority in life."
