Reposting this because its a great watch - and not just because I am in it - worth it for the picture of young Tessel Middag alone #50YearsOn #SWPL #SWF Richard McBrearty Professor Fiona Skillen
The minute from the SFA that we mark today: Women's Football (Item 70. Executive and General Purposes Committee): It was agreed to give recognition to women's football. (SFA Minutes, 29 August 1974). So little said for all those years of hurt. #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game
Posted a thread on organising football matches under SFA restrictions. Not only were the women not put off, they found ways to play more games in Scotland, take part in competitions in England, form the SWFA & organise the first ever International!!! #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game
As will be obvious, I am passionate about the history of women's football in Scotland & telling it to as many people as possible. If any teams or groups are interested in hearing more get in touch - I will try not to rant too much but can't promise. #50YearsOn A Most Unsuitable Game
Guess which one I will be over the next few weeks..... Professor Fiona Skillen Julie McNeill
The main batch of books are on their way to our distributor Lomond Books Ltd so only days away from sending out those pre-orders; and then into shops. Thanks all for patience.
