A former teammate, Anita Asante, who played alongside her at Chelsea and England, says she has a very strict moral code. While Eni played for England for 11 years, Sone, who now plays for Reading, opted to represent Nigeria. “I was obsessed with the character Atticus Finch,’’ said Aluko of the novel about the trial of a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. On her return to England, Aluko signed for Chelsea again and remains with them. I remember when I was young I absolutely loved Atticus Finch [from the film and novel To Kill a Mockingbird].
