EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant football scene of the 1970s. The focus is on a trailblazing female footballer named Liz Deighan, who made a bold decision two years prior to leave her beloved hometown of Newcastle and join St Helens. Dated August 12th, 1975, this image captures an important moment in women's sports history. Liz Deighan's determination and passion for the beautiful game shine through as she confidently poses in her football kit. With every stride and kick of the ball, she defied societal norms and shattered gender barriers that once confined women within traditional roles. As a player for St Helens Ladies WFS (Women's Football Society), Liz undoubtedly became an inspiration for aspiring female athletes across the nation. Photographer Howard Davies skillfully captures not only Liz's physical prowess but also her unwavering spirit. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication required to pursue one's dreams against all odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, it reminds us of how far women's sports have come since those pioneering days. It prompts us to celebrate not only Liz Deighan but also countless other unsung heroines who paved the way for future generations of female athletes. This print encapsulates an era when courage met talent on dusty pitches, leaving an indelible mark on both sport and society itself.
