EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1972, we witness the birth of a new football team at Old Trafford - United Ladies (Manchester). The manager and organizer of this groundbreaking team is none other than Blanche Rashman, a remarkable 19-year-old from Prestwich. As she stands proudly at Old Trafford, Blanche signs on players and prepares to lead them through their inaugural training session. What makes United Ladies truly special is its composition. This diverse group consists of women who have been instrumental in various roles at Old Trafford - be it working in tea bars or the development office. Additionally, there are sisters of players and close friends who share an unwavering passion for the beautiful game. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated. In an era when women's involvement in football was often overlooked or dismissed, these trailblazing ladies dared to challenge societal norms and pave their own path within the sport they loved. This photograph captures not only a historical milestone but also serves as a testament to the power of determination and unity among women. It symbolizes breaking barriers, defying expectations, and embracing opportunities that were once denied. As we reflect upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, let us celebrate these extraordinary individuals who fearlessly forged ahead with their dreams while leaving an indelible mark on Manchester's sporting legacy.
