Jill Scott is one of England’s most capped players ever and among the most loved as well.

The 35-year-old has earned more than 160 caps for the Lionesses and it was fitting that the midfielder was on the pitch as the final whistle sounded at Wembley last night.

As always, Scott played with intensity, aggression and passion –– which led to a few choice words on one occasion.

Indeed, a clip of the Manchester City star shouting obscenities at Germany’s Sydney Lohmann has gone viral and is likely to down in history.

Scott reacts angrily

After giving away a foul, Scott felt aggrieved and clearly felt the decision should have gone the other way.

Lohmann then appears to mutter something to the England star but it’s fair to say that Scott didn’t take too kindly to whatever was said.

Jumping up from the ground, Scott responded by saying: “F**k off, you f***ing p**ck,” before the referee intervened and separated the two players.

What did fans think?

After the clip surfaced online, fans were quick to comment on Scott’s actions.

One said: “Not been watching the football, but very happily been watching a loop of this video of Jill Scott saying ‘f**k off, you f**ing prick!’ Genuinely marvellous.”

Another echoed this sentiment and wrote: “Absolutely beautiful in every way.”

Others were quick to stress how the clip helps quash the stereotype that swearing isn’t ‘ladylike.’

“Is there anything more satisfying than telling someone to ‘F**k off’? Particularly those who say swearing is not ladylike”, said sports journalist Elizabeth Ammon.

A number of comments also stressed how much they loved Scott in general, who has become a firm fan favourite over the years.

“As if we couldn’t love her anymore, she does this,” emphasised one user.

“Dame Jill Scott just for this tbf,” said another.

Scott finally wins major trophy

Scott made her international debut more than 16 years ago and had been a part of the England team that lost 6-2 to Germany in the 2009 final.

Fast forward 13 years and the Lionesses legend has finally won a major trophy in front of a home crowd of more than 87,000.

It is a rich reward for a player that has served England so well over the years and this may prove to be the perfect way to sign off her splendid career.

Scott has already created a lasting legacy on English football and will be remembered for far more than just telling a player to “f**k off.” Yet, that won’t stop us from watching this clip on repeat for some time.
