Shelly told the : "Since the Euros have been on, obviously it’s very busy anyway if I’m being totally honest, but then when Jill is in the shop, it just goes completely manic, wild.

“I feel like everybody pulls together and comes in.

"Jill will come in once or twice a week, dependent on training and her availability, really.

"On the Euros, for the day that it kicked off, it went ballistic.

"We had to have like five staff in, there were queues out the door, everyone was just coming in, from all over the country though.

"We even had someone from Hong Kong, they said that they’d literally come from London to Manchester and came into the shop.

"Australia too, and it was just for a meeting hopefully.

"There’s a corner of football, we didn’t want it in your face or anything like that."

Shelly admitted that sometimes even other women footballers pay it a visit, even players from Arsenal or Chelsea when they're up there playing.

She added: "The City girls are always in, there’s Lauren, Kiera and Lucy.

"Then, obviously, when the girls are up from London, we have the Arsenal and Chelsea girls come in.

"You know, they come and support our coffee shop, but I think they just like the coffee don’t they, it’s trendy.

"We’ve had Fara Williams, there’s been loads of people who just come and grab a coffee."
