Bronze packed bags in Morrisons and worked in Domino's but now she can complete the set

Bronze is Tough by name, quite literally, and tough by nature.

The England superstar has been tremendous, as always, for the Lionesses on their journey to the Women's World Cup final.

Bronze has been one of the best footballers in the world for years and her trophy cabinet proves that.

The 31-year-old has won numerous titles in Spain, France and England, as well as the Champions League four times.

In 2019, she was named the second best player in the Ballon d'Or Feminin to USA icon Megan Rapinoe.

With England, there is just one thing missing.

Bronze was part of the successful European Championship winning side of 2022, while she also boasts winner's medals in the Women's Finalissima, SheBelieves Cup and Arnold Clark Cup.

Not bad for someone who was packing bags in Morrisons and working in Domino's before her football career took off.

Speaking to The Mirror, Bronze's brother Jorge said: "We've been more nervous than Lucy but we tend to feel the nerves and the occasion more than she does.

"This was never meant to happen - this career, this path. Lucy was bag-packing in Morrisons to raise funds for a bus.

"Then working in Domino's while studying and thinking, 'What's my proper job going to be?'.

"It's just unreal to think that she has been part of this and now her role is not just to be part of it but driving it forward to make sure there is a massive market for women's football."

While Bronze has lived up to her 'Tough' middle name, she was understandably close to tears as England progressed to the Women's World Cup final on Wednesday.

She was a standout player in the 2019 team who lost to USA.

"This is the one thing I've always wanted, to be in the final of a World Cup and after two times of getting such disappointment, I honestly can't believe it," Bronze told the BBC.

She added: "We all dreamed of being in the final and all our family and friends booked here to stay until the final because they believed in us. To have everybody here and all that support is unbelievable.

"It's been amazing to play against Australia, what a fantastic tournament they had, but I'm so happy to get to the final."

Now we just want to see the ski goggles and bucket hat again and all smiles on Sunday...
