About this Event

Discover the history of women’s football in the Northeast, alongside Ken will be Christine Knox, a former Lioness from the 70’s and 80’s who won 10 caps for England following a 50-year ban on women’s football. Hear firsthand from Christine of the struggles the women’s game endured, building a platform from which today’s Lionesses have had such great success.
