She won the unsung hero award and the Be Inspired award at the Greater Manchester Sports Awards in 2010 where in the same year she was nominated for an MBE by colleagues from Temple Primary School, in Cheetham Hill, where she works as a learning mentor.June is an inspiration and when invited by the FA to go and meet the national team, her response was she would love to if she could also bring her under 12s team - they all had a great day out!!!!
