A name synonymous with the league and women’s game, Matt Beard will be inducted into the Barclays WSL Hall of Fame posthumously following his passing in September 2025.
Beard’s association with women’s football in England spanned almost two decades, with the majority of his managerial career taking centre stage in the top flight.
His impact is eternal, and will never be forgotten ❤️

I’ve spent the last few weeks speaking to people in the game, gathering info and opinions ✍🏻👇🏻
