• Trailblazer : Lily Parr, the Unstoppable Star of Women's Football - Elizabeth Dale & Carolina Coroa

Imagine being an extremely talented football player, scoring 43 goals in your first season at age 14, head-hunted to play for one of the country’s best teams and playing in matches that attract record-breaking crowds – only then to be banned by the English FA because the sport isn’t deemed suitable for your gender (a ban that unbelievably remained in place for 50 years). This is exactly what happened in the 1920s to Lily Parr who, along with her team mates, refused to bow down to FA pressure and continued to play regardless of the restrictions placed on them, even travelling to America to achieve their ambitions. Demonstrating tenacity, moral courage and dedication in abundance, they paved the way for football to become one of the top women’s sports in the UK – true trailblazers.
