Viac o knihe

The book recounts the extraordinary journey of the Dick, Kerr Ladies FC, who emerged from a munitions factory in Preston during World War I to become a dominant force in women's football. Their remarkable story includes a record-setting match at Goodison Park in 1920, but their success was met with resistance when the FA banned women from playing on League grounds in 1921. Despite this setback, the team persevered until 1965, raising over £10 million for charity. This edition uncovers additional stories and provides a comprehensive playing history.
