But I didn't think anything of it. And now he's bringing all his school friends along, and clients," she said."We talk about women bringing women up, but when you have your dad and male allies behind you, that's the really important part. They're getting behind something that's so massive."Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Rosie Galligan is hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Kent sporting hero Alessia RussoGalligan grew up in West Malling, near Maidstone, and said she was hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Kent sporting hero Alessia Russo, who helped the Lionesses in winning the European Championships."I can't believe I have never met her," Galligan said."They did so well and I'm still hoping for that day when the two winners can meet."Related topicsMaidstoneAylesfordGuildfordMore on this storyFrom coma to World Cup in three years - Burton savours comeback Published3 SeptemberWorld Cup drubbings part of growth - World RugbyPublished3 September
