Ollie Watkins is the reason England is playing the UEFA Euro final tonight against Spain. The Aston Villa star came in as a super sub and netted a clutch 90th-minute strike from a tight angle in the semi-final against the Netherlands. After the final whistle, Watkins ran past his teammates and rushed into the stands to share a hug and a kiss with his long-time girlfriend Ellie Alderson, and celebrated the big win. If Ellie Alderson was there for the semi, she is surely one of the top English WAGs to watch out for in the Euro finale in Olympiastadion, Berlin.
Not only for England games, Ellie Alderson is a common sighting in Villa Park, when her boyfriend takes the pitch for Aston Villa. Well, there is more to Alderson’s life than being Watkins’s cheerleader, which we will find out as we delve deeper.
