Ok. Right before covid lockdown started I purchased my younger daughter, who would soon turn eight, a Lionesses shirt with Alex's name and number. My daughter plays fullback and AG is her football hero.
When my daughter received her top she asked if I would show Alex on Twitter (my daughter was Twitter aware we'd watch football related things on it together. ) I tagged Alex with a photo of my daughter saying how excited she was for the shirt of her favourite player.
Alex commented about how cute it was, etc. She ended up direct messaging me telling me to tell my daughter to keep faith during covid and all will be OK. She said she wanted to send her one her Lionesses shirts and asked for our postal address. A few months later, she messaged and said the shirt was on it's way. Let her know when it arrived. My daughter was over the moon.
I waited two and half months and messaged her saying it hadn't arrived and perhaps it was lost in the post. She said she'd look into and after time she told me she had sent daughter another shirt in the post and was sorry the first didn't arrive.
A year plus on, my daughter is still waiting for it. However, she has stopped checking every day to see if it has arrived. She did cry a little about it and I told her things happen that way sometimes with adults. Because someone can play football or sing, etc. it doesn't necessarily mean they are great people.
And that is why I think she is a better footballer than person.
