Georgia will be hoping to sing Sweet Caroline again following the final
Georgia Stanway will complete a one-of-a-kind journey from Furness Rovers to the World Cup final this weekend.
Her three brothers were all passionate about the sport, and by the time she was three, she was playing in one of their under-sevens teams. "When I’d turn up at games, the opposition would be like, ‘Ooh, there’s a girl playing’, but I thrived on it.After impressing with Furness Rovers, the midfielder played her way through Blackburn Rovers' youth system, earning a place in the senior side at the start of 2015 and scoring six goals in seven appearances for the club, coming through at the same time as fellow Lioness Ella Toone.
International recognition came quickly after, as she began to make her name in Europe, and as a Lioness. Stanway continued to impress despite the impact of Covid-19, winning the FA WSL Goal of the Month award for December 2021 before becoming City's highest goalscorer with a hat trick in an 8–0 win against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.However, despite her stunning displays on the pitch, all was not well in Manchester.
The crisis passed, but in May 2022, the midfielder signed a three-year deal with German giants Bayern Munich.
