100 YEARS AGO TODAY on 20th July 1918, I became the youngest person ever to play for England at 15 - AND I scored! Just me, little Mary Lyons, a munitions worker from #Jarrow, North East, England.
Another #Englandforgottenlegend.

People talk as though women's football is something new. What's new is regaining ground they lost when it was banned for decades #lionesses #ENGUSA

For girls and women all over the world - football isn’t about what people say you should do.

It's about what you dream, what you decide and what you dare.
