ENGLAND women’s footballers displayed their skills when they visited the Trafford Centre on Saturday.

The players called into the shopping city to let everyone in Manchester know about a special England Football Party.

The England stars were led by record goalscorer Kelly Smith, Everton duo Fara Williams and Jill Scott and Arsenal trio Steph Houghton, Alex Scott and Ellen White.

All of the players are hoping to be included in Hope Powell’s Team GB squad for the Olympics, so they have their eyes on Euro qualification and London 2012.

The England Football Party will take place on June 17, with the whole day geared towards the crucial Euro 2013 qualifier against Holland at Salford City Stadium, kick-off 5.15pm.

The Football Party is in the middle of Euro 2012 and fans are urged to come along ready for a party with wigs and face paint and fancy dress, and The Football Association and Manchester County FA have lined up an afternoon of family friendly activities outside the ground from 3pm.
