The Homecoming: The Lionesses and Beyond (Football Shorts, Bk. 2)

A passionate, heartfelt account of the Lionesses Euros triumph, when they dazzled the nation and brought football home – from the CEO of Women in Football.

Since falling in love with football aged seven, author Jane has been an activist, administrator and leader in the beautiful game, most recently as CEO of Women in Football. Her journey takes in her early days as a Sunderland fan, her first kicks of the ball in her late teens, her pioneering work in the early 1990s to promote women’s involvement in football, and her subsequent career at the heart of the football establishment.

In 1992, Jane wrote, ‘The England women’s team winning the European Championship – now that is not a fairytale, it could just happen.’. Thirty years later that fairytale came true. Jane reflects on what’s happened to women’s football in the aftermath of the Lionesses’ historic victory and what needs to happen next.
