England World Cup team joy for Marni

A TEENAGER who only began kicking a ball after her left leg was removed is in England's first women's amputee football team.

Marni Voak, 16, could barely walk before her surgery in 2022 but will now be heading to Colombia in November for the first Women's Amputee Football World Cup.

The talented youngster, who trained with Arsenal and now plays fortnightly with Chelsea, said: "Football means everything to me. It's been the best outcome since losing my leg.

"[England defender] Lucy Bronze is my hero, she is the player I really look up to.
