Footballer Ollie Watkins, like the rest of his squad, will be hoping for victory on Sunday as England takes on Spain in the UEFA Euros Final match.

The 28-year-old player had an extra special moment in the semi-finals earlier in the week when he scored the winning goal in the 90th minute, securing England's place in the final of the dramatic tournament.

Ollie is also a forward for Aston Villa, so he's no stranger to the beautiful game. Away from his successful career as a footballer, however, he enjoys spending quality time with his family including his glamorous girlfriend, Ellie Alderson, and their two beautiful children.
