England hero back to work at her coffee shop days after historic Euro triumph
One of the heroes of England’s Women's Euro 2022 triumph, Jill Scott, returned to work at her coffee shop Boxx2Boxx only five days after her country’s win. Scott’s coffee shop is based in Manchester, which she owns and runs with her partner Shelly Unitt.
The 35-year-old midfielder played a key role for England who beat Germany on Sunday (July 31) to win their first European title. Scott was brought on just before extra time in the final against Germany. She helped the Three Lionesses remain composed in possession and laid the foundation for Chloe Kelly’s 110th-minute winner.
Wow! I just met the legend that is @JillScottJS8 with her #WEURO2022 🏅medal. She served me a coffee! What a lovely person, so down to earth, 5 days after #Lionesses victory she’s back at her Boxx2Boxx Northenden cafe. She knows all the regulars by name, what an absolute legend! https://t.co/plkJNHsxW7
