A film about a football team that was born out of the First World War and was banned by the English Football Association because they felt threatened by the women's game.

  • The FA should change it's motto (indeed, if it has one) to 'Always Getting it Wrong Through Narrow Minded Policies'

  • Dick Kerr and his brother Juan.

  • Hi! the learn history site took huge swathes of my book without asking, thus breaching copyright. I've asked for it to be removed, with no success. That is part of the reason why the book is now out of print. If people can get the information for free, they won't buy the book. The copyright of that particular photo is particularly upsetting, as it belongs to Alice Woods's daughter, and it's rarely, if ever, acknowledged. They deserve better. Having said that, I loved your video!

  • @meejician I'm sorry for giving you the credit you deserve. All the information came from the learnhistory site and the pictures were taken from google. I will acknowledge you in the info when I get chance.

  • Fantastic film, I never ever heard that women's footy went back so far. Typical FA though, all footy assoc's are inbred megalomaniacs, especially uefa. How come 95% of the "footy family" seem to be fans of the teams in the cup final and even seem to come from the towns/cities involved in the final........maybe I,m naive, but they should not be allowed to sell their tickets!!! Surely if they accept them then they have a moral duty to attend the game. Yours miffed, Choochoo.

  • thanks for posting this my grandmother played for them in 1921 i have a gold medal that i am proud of

  • Excellent video

  • wow, ive just finished reading the book, and to see these pictures is amazing.

  • Brilliant video,I played against some of these ladies at Fleetwood even though they were all over 60!!
