‘And for me personally, you know I have a daughter, so for her to be inspired by you girls and your performances has been incredible.’

He continued: ‘But it’s not just the girls that are getting inspired, the boys are getting inspired as well by this and we all know that when big tournaments come around our country and our fans get behind us like no other.

‘It really has uplifted the whole country.’

The former footballer added of the semi-final: ‘We’re all excited to see it and I know there’s one person that is really excited to see it and that is my daughter, Harper.
