Interesting to learn women's teams were permitted during the war years, much like the history of women's baseball in the US. And GO NANA!

I’ve never really followed football but this is a very interesting read especially the history about the women’s. Those photos of your grandparents particularly Ada are wonderful too.

*Whispers* I’m not usually a massive football follower either, Margaret. I’ve been to two matches in my life! But that photo! My curiosity was sparked!

I sooo enjoyed this piece of family and national history of this sport. And those boots. How did she not break a hip running in those clodhoppers?
