Former Lionesses captain Jill Scott says she will get a tattoo done of her infamous Euros outburst if England win the Women’s World Cup.

She said: “I will make a pact – when England win the World Cup, I will get ‘FOYFP’ tattooed on me.”

The inking will be an abbreviation of her expletive-laden rant at Bayern Munich’s Sydney Lohmann during the Euro 22 final, when she was caught on camera exclaiming: “F*** off, you f***ing p****.”

Retired midfielder Jill, 36, said: “I am not proud of it, I am really not. It’s not very role model-like. I was just so passionate.” But she admitted that, despite knowing her outburst was wrong, it also made her reflect on winning.

“I am sorry but it reminds me of the win, so it gives me a little smile!” she said.

And as the current Lionesses prepare for their World Cup opener against Haiti next Saturday, they have admitted that, while they are a close-knit squad, there will be things they find irritating about each other.

Keira Walsh, 26, revealed that everyone knows when fellow midfielder Georgia Stanway, 27, is around. “She annoys me because she doesn’t have an indoor voice,” Keira said. “She shouts all the time, even when I’m sat five yards away. And she picks her nose. She wipes her nose on her shirt.”

The footballers, who are all close pals, made their revelations on Jill’s Coffee Club podcast.

Georgia Stanway added her jokey gripes, saying: “I’ve got a few on Keira. She won’t ask for help, she needs ‘alone time’, she’s an overachiever and she’s wise beyond her years and independent – hashtag only child.”

And some will miss home comforts during their time away. Georgia, who left Manchester City last year to join Bayern Munich, was the first to cite the food she craves when working overseas.

She said: “I can take my beans away from here and eat them in Germany but they don’t taste the same. I feel like they’re only good when you’re in your home country. I miss Vimto, too.”

But Keira, who now plays for FC Barcelona, is hoping for a more positive World Cup gastronmic experience, because she loves the food in Spain. She said: “Sushi in Spain is a hundred times better than in England. It’s not as expensive and tastes a lot better.”
