Lionesses star Ella Toone dealt sad blow after Euro’s win
Taking to Instagram today (Thursday, July 31), Lionesses star Ella, 25, announced the heartbreaking news to her 808k followers. She revealed that her nan died just hours before the final.
Ella shared a range of pictures of herself and her Nana Maz. One picture showed her and her gran wearing bucket hats with “Buzzing my head off” written on them. The picture was taken in 2022, with Ella sporting her Euros winner medal from that year.
Another picture shows her nan smiling for the camera while wearing a shirt reading “It’s coming home”.
A third picture shows Ella, in her Manchester United kit, hugging her nan, who’s sporting a United scarf. Other pictures show Ella and brother Joe with her nan, the family posing with her in the garden, Ella’s boyfriend Joe smiling with her whilst she’s wearing an England top, and one of her nan and her late husband.
Ella’s tribute to her grandmother
“Even in the highest of highs life can hit you with the lowest of lows. My Nana Maz took her last breath on the morning of our Euro final. I have comfort in knowing she got to watch from the best seat in the house with Dad, her favourite person,” Ella captioned the post.
Ella’s father died last year following a battle with prostate cancer.
