The former midfielder helped the Lionesses record what was then their best ever World Cup result, with a statement victory over two-time champions Germany. Potter, of Mansfield Woodhouse, was a key figure throughout the 2015 tournament in Canada and played her part in the successful bronze medal match outcome. The Lionesses beat Germany 1-0 thanks to a Fara Williams penalty, making them the second most successful England side after the famous 1966 Men's World Cup triumph.
