Alessia Russo is unique, talented, humble and determined. Thank you Alessia for bringing us so much joy during the Euros. I now follow Manchester United ladies because you are in the team. Your back heel goal against Sweden, will forever be known as the 'The Russo'

Just love this girl.

What a fantastic young woman. As grand as you looked here, I still love seeing you most of all in the shirts of Manchester United and England: long may that continue.

No worries, Paul Burnett, it will continue. She has far too much talent for it not to.

A doctorate for an ordinary life????? But then again it might also be a christian gesture with a publicity goal.

[@Onthemove6801]

At 23 an extraordinary life.

[@lisa8369]

Hardly ordinary

[@mracer8]

I am sure you achieve a great deal more at 23!

[@Rinus-et6qs]

@@mracer8What I did or did not achieve is not the point. But I am sure that I was a better footballplayer than she will ever be. However, nobody granted me a title for free, despite my education on a university level.
