Hide AdAnn, from Hilsea, said: 'If my dad was still here today he would be cheering on the team. I love football, am patriotic and very proud of my dad. So I wanted to show that and remember him by wearing his cap.'
And Ann, who has two sons Ronnie and Billy, is looking forward to Sunday's final. 'It's an amazing achievement to have got to the final and this is the best chance we have had to win since 1966. We have got the players and the manager to do it.'
