In the UK/GB From 1917, women's football really started to establish itself, it evolved from factory workers during the 1st World War as the men were away fighting, so women stepped into their places. They played 'Charity Matches' to raise funds for local community organizations. In the second clip you can see the 'famous' Dick Kier team [named after the ammunition factory] from Preston in the long striped shirts, playing 'Fema' a sporting club of french students based in Paris .... This was the first Unofficial International Women's Football Match ... Look At The Crowds ... As a consequence of this growing female football and spectator support The English Football Association [the F. A.] BANNED women and Girls from playing On F.A. pitches or having any support/refereeing or coaching from any person linked to the F.A. that happened on December 5th 1921. In the third clip dated 1943 some 22 years after the F.A. Ban its obvious they had no training and the pitch was not an official one plus the patronising comments on the film clip. In the fourth clip 1957 some thirty six years after the ban, a few remaining teams still remained, Preston Ladies [Dick Kier] , Manchester Corinthians and others Formed an Unofficial England Team to play a similar opposition in West Germany Look At The Crowds ... again no training, and looked upon as a spectacle. In the 5th clip nineteen sixty nine this was not a serious effort in any way to resemble A Football Match, it was just a sexist celebrity farce ... On looking at the sixth clip, nineteen sixty six some 45 years after the ban you can see some training going on, and the pitch they played on ... well Just a further point some of those women played in the Southampton team who became dominant in England through the 1970s. Looking at the last clip nineteen sixty nine, eastern european or the soviet block [at the time] you can see the serious nature of their game. On coming back to the first clip in 1959, the Italian women were serious ... thus you can see a general re-emergence in Female Football from the Nineteen Sixties ... In the UK/GB the English Football Association [the F.A.] lifted the Ban on Women and Girls Football in December 1971 They never apologised for that sexist fifty year ban .... So lets not laugh at those women, as they played under Extreme Oppression And Still Played For The Love Of The Game ... Well Done to Them.
David Cummings Spot on. My mum's cousin played for Manchester Corinthians in the 50's and 60's and I wonder if she's on the clip from the West Germany game.
happyngroovynallthat Not sure about the set up of that West Germany v England game, I think that particular game was an England mixture of the remaining women s teams of the time .... however Manchester Corinthians did Unofficially represent England over the time you mentioned ! those women were true pioneers of female football and should NEVER be forgotten.
Ask yourself why ... girls/women were not encouraged to play football, just boys and Men ... and being Banned how could they be coached when they were Banned ... Now Do You Understand You THICK IGNORANT FOOL
