Euro champ Jill Scott is going for The Treble.
The former England captain is returning to lead her country in another match, and wants to notch up another title after being crowned Queen of the Jungle and captaining the Lionesses to victory last year.
The Three Lions have not won Soccer Aid since 2018, so have recruited Jill in a bid to go for the title at the June match.
Jill said: “The Euros, The Jungle and now Soccer Aid for UNICEF – it’s the holy trinity.
“I’ve won two of them, so just need Soccer Aid now to complete ‘The Treble’. I think of all three, this might be the one I’m most nervous about, though – just look at the names involved.”
