Produktbeschreibung

"In 2019 Jean Williams invited me to present to FA staff which included Sarina Wiegman and her technical department. It is very important to me that the generation of players before me, and the generation I played alongside, are recognised, remembered and their stories told. Without Jean, I am not sure the players of previous generations would have the profiles they have now, or have been acknowledged as the pioneers and legends of the women's game.'

-Kerry Davis, England international and professional footballer

"Jean Williams came into my life after years of being cast into footballing obscurity. She has been instrumental in raising the awareness of my achievements, and that of other women footballers of my generation, contributing to my raised national and international recognition, and dual roles as a FA and UEFA Ambassador during the 2022 EURO's."

-Carol Thomas, second captain of the England team and first woman to get 50 caps for England

This is the first academic history of the FA England women's national football team. Based on unprecedented access to FA data, it details the careers of the 227 women who debuted for England from 1972 to 2022. England won the UEFA Women's Euros in 2022, and Jean worked with Sarina Wiegman and the squad, on the Legendary Lionesses from 1972.

Jean Williams published A Game for Rough Girls? A History of Women's Football in England, in 2003. She subsequently published A Beautiful Game: International Perspectives on Women's Football (2007), and Globalising Women's Football: Europe, Migration and Professionalisation 1971-2011 (2013).
