The England women's star has come a long way from her childhood health problems that would leave her needing medical assistance and an ambulance 'several times a week'
Lionesses captain Millie Bright lead the Lionesses to huge success as they reached the finals of the Women's World Cup this year. And despite a heartbreaking loss to Spain, Millie, who is the captain of the England squad, has been hailed as an inspiration.
Speaking about her previous illnesses, Millie told ITV Sport she feels "lucky" to be where she is today, she said: "I've struggled since I was born. I was eight days old when I had pneumonia, then I had croup, then asthma.She added: "It's never crossed my mind that my asthma would stop me playing. Does it create challenges at times? Absolutely.
She said: "It was really quite bad. Eventually I had a steroid machine at home to help me but before I was old enough for that I had to get an ambulance whenever I was having an attack in the night. That would happen several times a week
