The Manchester Corinthians played in front of 50,000 people in Europe and South America in the 1950s. At home they played at a local park in front of about 6 people, and washed in buckets of water afterwards. That's what fifty years of the FA's ban actually looked like. payhip.com/b/znYmk

3 July

The 1921 ban didn't just remove women from pitches. It removed the idea that football could belong to girls. Generations grew up with no way of knowing stadiums had once been filled for women's football. That absence compounds. It still impacts now. Full piece: payhip.com/b/znYmk - £7.99
