Capturing the Essence of Women's Football in 1969 - A Fierce Battle between England and Scotland
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This iconic photo print, taken on October 19th, 1969, at Willesden Sports Stadium in London, transports us back to a time when women's football was still fighting for recognition. In this unofficial international match between Foden Ladies (representing England) and Westthorn United (representing Scotland), players showcased their passion and determination on the field. Sponsored by Butlins and Mirror Group, this historic event marked an important milestone for women's soccer. The image freezes a crucial moment as a player from Westthorn United delivers a powerful kick towards her opponent from Foden Ladies. With contrasting jerseys - plain top versus striped shirt - these fierce competitors demonstrate their commitment to the game. Despite their relentless efforts throughout the match, both teams failed to find the net, resulting in a final score of 0-0 (Nil-Nil). However, beyond the numbers lies an untold story of resilience and progress within women's sports during that era. Arthur Sidey and Malcolm McNeill expertly captured this snapshot of history through their lens. Their photograph not only showcases action-packed football but also symbolizes the perseverance exhibited by female athletes who were determined to break barriers in professional sport. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of how far women's football has come since those early days while honoring those trailblazing players who paved the way for future
