Manchester United and England midfielder Ella Tone wrote about her grief praising her father, who died in September last year.
Nick Tone died three days after his sixtieth birthday, after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer the next day to buy Ella in the EURO 2022 final, a match in which England beat Germany 2-1 in Wembley.
Writing to Tribune for playersTun, 25, said that she is still trying to address her feelings because she was a shock, in a large part of her because her father did not explain to her how much he fell ill to the end.
“When he passed, it was a great shock, even for some people closest to him, because no one knew that he was sick,” Top wrote. People now ask me, “Why didn’t you tell us? “And I liked, I didn’t know either.
“Over the past few months, I have been trying to know everything, and I am trying to deal with that.
“Until now, I think sometimes that he will return, as if in the other room waiting to call the corner so that he could joke or some joke … he was always in a state of wind.”
Ton praised her father’s role in her career, from her transfer to her first practices, and at the age of six, she promised 10 pounds for each goal for her Astley and Tyldesley Girls in Greater Manchester – a cost of 100 pounds in her first match.
Tone remembered how her parents will travel home and away from watching all her games as a professional, then she watched the recordings at home before her father called her to talk to them.
Ton said that her first evidence that something was not true when he appeared sick after the opening match of the euro, and England won 1-0 against Austria over Old Trafford, then he missed the match against Norway that played in Brighton.
But both of her parents continued to tell Ton that her father was simply “not feeling very well”, and she did not get a complete picture even after Manchester United won the final of Tottenham last May, a match in which Ton scored. The opening match. This was the first time that cancer was mentioned.
“I am still treating,” Tun added. “This is my first attempt to talk about it really. As my father said, TOONS is not great in feelings. But I wanted to write this, for anyone who grieves and feels lonely.”
