The teams then tussled back and forth throughout the rest of normal and extra time before a nail-biting penalty shoot-out. Ultimately, two heroic saves from Hannah Hampton allowed star player Chloe Kelly to fire home the winning penalty, securing victory for the Lionesses. The tournament had not been without its battles, with England having to twice come back from goal deficits in previous rounds to make their way to the final.

Our family cat was swung in a noose and smashed into a wall by a sick thug – How could someone be so cruel?
A FAMILY whose pet cat was tortured for fun by a sick thug have told of their horror at his ordeal. 6 Sarah Keeling cuddles pet cat Marshall who was swung around in a noose and repeatedly smashed into a wall Credit: Dan Charity 6 Sarah has told The Sun of her shock when she was shown doorbell camera footage of her pet's 6am trauma last week Credit: Supplied 6 Marshall was taken to a vet and given pain killers for bruising and swelling, but X-rays amazingly found no broken bones Credit: Dan Charity The ginger moggie returned home hours later gasping for breath and with rope still around his throat. Marshall was taken to a vet and given pain killers for bruising and swelling, but X-rays amazingly found no broken bones. Owner Sarah Keeling, 38, has told The Sun of her shock when she was shown doorbell camera footage of her pet's 6am trauma last week. Hospital worker Sarah, who is eight months pregnant, said: 'I don't know what goes through someone's head to do such a cruel thing to a little animal. Read More on UK News "Marshall would have just gone out at that time. He would have gone up to that man expecting to be pampered because he's really friendly and loves the attention. 'Instead, he got rope wrapped around his neck and swung around like a rag doll. I don't understand how someone can walk past the house and do that. It seemed like he was trying to kill our poor cat in the video. 'I watched it and felt ill in my stomach. It was sickening. I genuinely thought Marshall was dead and we'd never see him again. But I knew if he was alive, he would come home.' Sarah's eight-year-old daughter Emily was distraught when Marshall went missing last Thursday. Most read in The Sun As locals helped to hunt for the cat, Emily wrote a heartbreaking letter to her beloved pet which read: 'We won't let you down. If we do, I'm sorry. I love you.' Sarah said: 'Emily was devastated. I just told her someone had been nasty to the cat and he ran away but we'll find him.' When Marshall came back at 1am on Friday, Emily fell asleep snuggling with the cat on the sofa. Shock moment a cat has a near miss with an unexpected explosion Emily said: 'We were cuddling and snoring. I was very sad and angry when he went missing. I wrote a letter to him and I read it to him. We play together a lot. I play with his favourite little cat toy which is a stick with a mouse. 'Lots of people have given him new toys which we'll try playing with. The vet said he's put on weight from all the treats. At least he's home, that's all that matters.' Sarah's partner Stuart Duncombe, 41, a kitchen appliance fitter, said: 'I don't get how anyone could do that. It was really shocking.' Marshall's ordeal came just weeks after Sarah's son Jake, 12, lost his cat Millie when she was run over. The family of Basingstoke, Hants, set up a GoFundMe page to cover vet bills which has raised £4,000. Henry Newey, 18, has admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and is due to be sentenced by Basingstoke JPs in September. 6 Sarah said: 'I don't know what goes through someone's head to do such a cruel thing to a little animal' 6 Sarah added: 'He got rope wrapped around his neck and swung around like a rag doll' 6 The sick attack on Marshall was captured on a doorbell camera Credit: GOFUNDME

How Euro '96 hero Paul Gascoigne won the nation's hearts before booze battles which left him homeless & close to death
HE'S the sporting hero who helped take England to the semi-finals of Euro '96 and as been hailed as the most "naturally talented English footballer of his generation" . But Paul Gascoigne's life off the pitch has been plagued by addiction and ill-health that has left him homeless and, at times, close to death. 6 Paul Gascoigne has been hospitalised after being discovered unconscious at home Credit: Dan Charity / The Sun 6 The footballer achieved 57 caps for England Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 6 But his life has also been plagued by alcohol Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Having 'died' twice, survived an 18-day coma and horror drink-drug binges, he has previously claimed to have 'more lives than a cat'. It's claimed Gazza, 58, is now in a 'stable' condition and being monitored in an acute medical unit after he was discovered semi-conscious at home on Friday evening. Fans who have watched him bounce back numerous times will be hoping the new health scare is just another temporary blip for the former Pal Steve Foster says hospital was 'the best possible place for him to be right now' and thanked well-wishers who 'want to see him back at his best'. read more from features It's yet another scare for the embattled addict, whose post-footballing career has been characterised by drug and alcohol battles. He once claimed to have survived for four months without food or water on a deadly daily intake of four bottles of whiskey and 'about 16 lines of coke'. By his own admission, he's a medical marvel, as he previously said: 'I'm not scared of anything, because of what I've been through in my life." Gazza's issues predate the drinking demons of his footballing career - stretching back to his childhood growing up in County Durham. Most read in Celebrity He has previously spoken about childhood trauma from witnessing his parents' violent arguments and later domestic abuse between his three siblings. At the age of ten, Gazza was scarred by tragedy, after watching his brother's friend Steven Spraggon die in his arms. Rangers icon Paul Gascoigne makes surprise Match of the Day appearance as footie greats pay tribute to Gary Lineker 6 Paul with ex-wife Sheryl, who he shares three kids with Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd He was 'mucking around' outside a local shop when he ran into the road and was knocked down by an ice cream truck. "I was on my own with him for what seemed like ages," Gascoigne revealed in his 2005 autobiography Gazza. "It was the first dead body I'd ever seen. 'I felt Stephen's death was my fault. I still go over the accident in my mind. Just speaking of it can make me cry." His hod-carrier father John lived away in When John returned, he suffered a brain hemorrhage that meant he would never work again, furthering the family instability for his kids. "It was around this time I started displaying peculiar twitches and making lots of noises," Gazza said. By 13, his mental health declined. He could no longer sleep without lights on and sought psychiatric help for depression and a slot machine addiction, which he shoplifted to fund. Gazza's one escape was on the pitch, where he admitted: "I didn't have twitches or worry about death when I was playing football." He impressed while playing at Redheugh Boys' Club and Gateshead Boys youth teams before being signed as an apprentice for Newcastle United on his 16th birthday. When I'm drinking, I forget about everyone and don't realise the hurt I'm doing to everyone but I've also got to think about the hurt I was doing to myself Gazza There, Gazza excelled, including scoring a 30-yard screamer in the Youth Cup final, which manager Jack Charlton remarked: 'You'll have to wait a thousand years to see that again." He went on to become one of the most successful midfielders ever, playing for Newcastle and Tottenham, before moving to Lazio, and earning 57 England caps. He also provided one of the game's most iconic moments - when a yellow card in the 1990 World Cup semis in Turin saw him leave the pitch in tears. As "Gazzamania" gripped the UK, Terry Wogan described him as "probably the most popular man in Britain today" in September 1990. But off the pitch, he was developing more unhealthy habits including binging on Mars bars and junk food, which would later lead to him purging to lose weight ahead of matches. It would lead to a destructive relationship with alcohol that, in 1998, would lead to him being first admitted to the Priory Hospital following hitting 'rock bottom' after downing 32 whisky shots in a night. He would have at least seven more stints at various rehabs including a prestigious Arizona spot, which cost £100,000, and a £6,000-a-month Southampton clinic, and has been sectioned multiple times. "I'm an alcoholic like George [Best] and I know that - in some ways - my behaviour has been even more self-destructive than his. George never took cocaine,' Gazza later would admit. Raoul Moat stand-off A decade on from his first rehab stint, he was sectioned under the mental health act after threatening self-harm and holding a night porter by the throat after a 3am fire alarm in a hotel. Later that year, Gazza tried to end his life with alcohol and drugs but thankfully medics saved his life. While he spent spates sober in the coming years, he was continuously dogged by addiction. The dizzying heights of fame he reached in football - making 57 appearances for Notably in 2010, during 6 Gazza at one point was drinking four bottles of whisky a night Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 6 The ex-footballer has had many admissions to rehab Credit: Action Images - Reuters 'I just remember that I was in a taxi, I had a fishing rod, some chicken, four cans of lager and a fishing jacket,' the footballer later told The Mirror. Fortunately, he was turned away. He added: 'I was telling the taxi driver I could save him. I told him: 'Listen, I have been through so much, I am the best therapist in the world, I can save him'. I think that I genuinely believed that.' That same year, he was charged with drink driving twice, including once being four times over the limit, and skipped his sentencing hearing to enter rehab. "He is not here because he has decided to put himself in for treatment, that's the bit that causes me concern. Who's running the show?" the judge said. Gazza would spend three years sober until 2013 when he succumbed to binges. At the time he complained: 'The last 11 years, I've probably drank 14 months out of it. 'I was three years sober and then I had a four or five weeks binge. It's just those little binges, so I've just got to stop those binges. "When I'm drinking, I forget about everyone and don't realise the hurt I'm doing to everyone but I've also got to think about the hurt I was doing to myself.' 'More lives than a cat' Despite falling off the wagon, he said: 'I don't know if I'm ever going to touch a drink again. I just know that I'm not drinking today.' In 2014, Gaza was admitted to rehab again - for the seventh time - and later that year was hospitalised twice due to his drinking. Struggles have continued to plague the widely-beloved footballer, who said in a 2021 interview that he will 'always be an alcoholic' but that he was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings . I have had near-death experiences, 36 operations, I've died a couple of times and they've put me in a coma for 18 days Gazza The dad-of-three, who previously admitted being physically violent against his first wife Sheryl, last year revealed he was homeless and sleeping in a spare room at his agent Katie Davies' house in Poole, Dorset. "I called Katie up in November a few years ago crying my eyes out,' he said. 'What I put myself through and other people, jail and rehab - taking cocaine off toilet seats." Gazza described himself as a 'sad drunk' and that he has 'let myself down' falling into the grips of alcoholism since his playing career finished. 'The things I've put myself through, I'm lucky to still be sitting here,' he told The High Performance Podcast. 'I don't go out and drink. I drink indoors.' He said if he wanted to 'make it a bad day' he would 'go down the pub' and once recoiled after a boozy session, to see '30 messages or missed calls' from worried loved ones. Gazza has been open about his battles, revealing he too believes he has 'more lives than a cat' due to surviving death multiple times and often appears to be consumed with regret. 'I have had near-death experiences, 36 operations, I've died a couple of times and they've put me in a coma for 18 days,' he said. 'People know Paul Gascoigne but Gazza, no one knows, even me sometimes. I've spent a lot of years being down. 'When I did my ligaments and then my kneecap, I missed four years of football. I would've got 100 caps.' Sadly, just weeks before his most recent hospitalisation, Gazza seemed optimistic, stating that he felt 'better now than I have in years' 'I hope I am at a point that I can look back over everything I've gone through with a different, more positive, perspective," he said. This recent scare suggests the battle may not be over for the beleaguered legend - but as ever, the beloved figure will have an army of well-wishers hoping he has a speedy recovery.

I looked Tube terrorist in the eye on 21/7 and knew he wanted mass murder – what happened next still haunts me 20 yrs on
The manhunt that followed the botched attack set off a chain of events that led to the tragic shooting of Brazilian citizen Jean Charles de Menezes, who was misidentified TUBE TERROR I looked Tube terrorist in the eye on 21/7 and knew he wanted mass murder – what happened next still haunts me 20 yrs on Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN terrorist Ramzi Mohammed tried to detonate a bomb on London's Northern Line, only one person was brave enough to face him down. Passenger Angus Campbell stood his ground in the smoke-filled train carriage and ordered the suicidal extremist to drop to the floor.

But after ushering mum Nadia Baro and her nine-month-old son to safety in the next carriage, he realised the man before him was responsible for the botched explosion in a tunnel close to Oval station, South London. Now — 20 years on from the attempted atrocity — Angus, 61, of nearby Tooting, recalled how his fury at Mohammed's bid to kill an innocent woman and child gave him the courage to fight back. He said: 'I realised, 'This is someone trying to commit mass murder', and it's difficult to describe the fear. 'But it's a hollowness, like butterflies in the bottom of your stomach. 'He got on the Tube and looked around and he must have seen he was in close proximity to a woman and child. He stood next to them and went bang. How is that a war? How do you justify that? 'He intended to kill women and children — what's that all about? 'That's not a fair fight, that's not courage. That's cowardice. How dare you be that cowardly.' 'Bolts and nails' Mohammed, then 23, and three accomplices were trying to replicate the 7/7 bombings that had left 52 dead two weeks earlier. They attempted to detonate devices on the Tube at Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street and just outside Oval station. A fourth device was intended to go off on the number 26 bus route in Haggerston, East London. But while the detonators on the devices fired, the main charges did not explode. As a result, there was only one reported injury. 7/7 survivor Dan Biddle and his rescuer Adrian interview The ensuing manhunt — described by the late Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair as 'the greatest operational challenge ever faced' by the Met — set off a chain of events that led to the tragic shooting of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes. He was mistaken for a would-be suicide bomber in one of the force's most notorious botched operations, shot and killed by officers at Stockwell Tube station on July 22, 2005. Within days, the real suspects were arrested and, two years later, Mohammed, along with Muktar Said Ibrahim, Yasin Hassan Omar and Hussain Osman, was found guilty of conspiracy to murder. Each was sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum of 40 years. Angus's incredible courage in confronting Mohammed summed up the mood in the capital after the 2005 bombings as people united against terrorism — a defiance that inspired the We're Not Afraid campaign. On the day the terror plotters struck, firefighter Angus had been running slightly late to take a training day at Southwark fire station when he boarded the 'relatively empty' carriage at Tooting just after midday. As the train was rocked by Mohammed's malfunctioned blast, the hero set aside concerns for his own safety to sound the alarm — then confront the extremist himself. Describing the horrifying attack, Angus, who retired in 2015, said: 'There was just the woman in front of me with her buggy and the kid was messing around. 9 Ramzi pictured on the tube carriage before he tried to detonate his rucksack bomb Credit: Central News 9 Mohammed, above escaping from the scene after the attack, and three accomplices were trying to imitate the 7/7 bombings that had left 52 dead two weeks earlier Credit: Metropolitan Police 'She got cross with him and put him in the buggy and he didn't want to be in there. We stopped at Stockwell and quite a lot of people got on from the Victoria line, including the bomber. "The moment we entered the tunnel a bang went off and it really reverberated because we were in a confined space and the carriage filled with white smoke. 'People were running like you wouldn't believe and (the bomber) was screaming, but the buggy was caught between the stanchions and she couldn't move it. 'I got hold of the buggy and Nadia hit me, she was so panicked. I said, 'No, let me help you'. 'We untangled it and, if you look at the CCTV, you can see we are clinging to each other as we move backwards down the Tube. 'We got to the doors and I thought one man was going to help me, but he didn't, he skipped through. I pushed Nadia through the doors and then I turned round to go and help the man I now know as Ramzi Mohammed.' He had pulled the alarm as he ushered Nadia to the neighbouring carriage and the Tube slowed down. He intended to kill women and children — what's that all about? That's not a fair fight, that's not courage. That's cowardice The scene that then unfolded before Angus still haunts him. He explained: 'I slowly walked towards him (Mohammed) and I could smell what I thought was burning hair. 'He started getting really aggressive and said, 'I'm going to kill you' a number of times. 'I was shouting at him, 'Lie the f*** down'. He pointed at me and said, 'You are wrong and this is all wrong'. 'I looked down at the rucksack and saw this yellow mass popping and fizzing, and within that is nuts and bolts and nails. "I realised, 'OK this is serious'. I started taking big steps back and both doors had now shut so I really was on my own. "The train driver comes on the Tannoy and there was a little microphone, and I scream into it, 'It's me! Don't open the doors, we've got him, get the police'. 'The bomber starts kicking and prying at the doors and getting really aggressive when all of a sudden, the doors open and he goes.' 'Deprived of a dad' The confrontation became a key scene in this year's Disney+ drama, Suspect: The Shooting Of Jean Charles De Menezes. A day after the failed bombings, the 27-year-old was wrongly pinpointed as one of the terrorists and tailed by cops, before officers fatally shot him in the head at Stockwell. Angus has fretted that if the train doors had not opened, and if he had managed to detain Mohammed, de Menezes' life might have been spared. But he refuses to blame London Underground for what happened. He said: 'All I had to do was hold on to him, and someone on the platform might have been able to help me keep him there, but I doubt it. He was young and scared and he took off. 9 Father-of-three Angus, 61, recalls how his fury at Mohammed's bid to kill an innocent woman and her child gave him the courage to fight back Credit: Dan Charity 9 'Everyone says, 'Why didn't you tw*t him on the nose?'. But I was really frightened, and it's important to have the balls to admit that. I was scared, of course I was. It was frustrating they opened the doors because we had him. 'He wasn't going to come past me and get back to the passengers he had already tried to kill. 'He was trapped and I was bigger than him. I looked down at the rucksack and saw this yellow mass popping and fizzing, and within that is nuts and bolts and nails. I realised, 'OK this is serious' 'As he ran away I shouted, 'Stop him,' and a few people tried. One old boy tried to trip him up and another geezer tried to grab him. 'Good for them, but he was long gone.' Acknowledging how devastating the consequences could have been if Mohammed's bomb had detonated, Angus said: 'I should be part of the Northern Line. 'I would have been sprayed all over that carriage, we were that close. 'My youngest son was six weeks old on July 21 and I would never have known him and he would never have known me. 'He's now 20 and doing fine at university and having a fantastic life, but he would have been denied a parent for all that time if Ramzi Mohammed had succeeded. "That's awful, isn't it? He would have been deprived of a dad and my wife and children would have suffered hugely if I had been taken away from them. 'To be denied 20 years just because of someone's ideology — it's not right and, with hindsight, there is real anger. 'I think, 'What gives you the right to do this to others and me? I've done nothing to you'.' Angus, who was reunited with Nadia at the would-be bombers' 2007 trial, now works as a tour guide in the capital. Not only does he regularly take the Tube, he often sits in the exact spot where he could have died. He said: 'I get the Tube all the time and I often sit in the same seat, third carriage down, main doors, second seat on the right. 'I think it's important because, if I was to avoid it, that means he's winning, doesn't it? I get the Tube all the time and I often sit in the same seat, third carriage down, main doors, second seat on the right. I think it's important because, if I was to avoid it, that means he's winning, doesn't it? 'Sometimes, it can be difficult. If someone gets on the Tube with a big rucksack and sits in close proximity to me, I can get fidgety. 'And it takes huge self-discipline not to get up and move myself away. 'But sitting in that seat is winning. If you change your behaviour, then they win.' Angus, who thanked The Sun for commending his bravery in our leaders column, added: 'We British are quite reserved, but there's something about us. 'It's called backbone, and we've got a lot of that, we really have." 9 Muktar Said Ibrahim, left, and Ramzi Mohammed, right, being arrested on July 29th 2005 Credit: check copyright
