Hide AdWhite has been in blistering form at the World Cup in France, scoring five goals for Phil Neville's Lionesses to help them book a semi final showdown.
Fans have dared to dream that football is coming home, and there is no doubt Ellen will forever be seen as an Aylesbury, and England, legend.
She currently sits level with the USA's Alex Morgan, in strong contention for the golden boot if England go all the way.
She is also only the second England player to score in four consecutive appearances at a World Cup after Gary Lineker did the same between 1986 and 1990 but is the first to do it in the same competition, an incredible feat.
