With three players from the town in the England Men’s Football team at the Euros, Stockport is getting behind the Lions ahead of Sunday’s final against Spain.
Phil Foden, Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer all put in superb performances in Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-final.
Phil Foden attended Bridge Hall Primary and Stockport Academy; Kobbie Mainoo attended Cheadle Catholic Infants and Juniors and St James High School, Cheadle; and Cole Palmer attended Gatley Primary School.
Cllr Mark Hunter, Leader of Stockport Council commented:
“We may be slightly biased but we believe that Stockport is a very special place to produce talent such as Stockport’s very own three lions in Phil Foden, Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer, who are on the verge of sporting greatness and looking towards success over Spain in the final on Sunday.
“Stockport is incredibly proud of all of its hometown heroes and has championed Phil Foden for a number of years, so we’re delighted to see Kobbie and Cole join Phil in becoming yet another alumni of Stockport to become an England international.
“We wish our young three lions and the rest of the England team the very best for Sunday – Stockport is behind you!”
