Lily Parr was England's foremost female footballer in the early twentieth century, playing for Dick, Kerr Ladies in front of huge crowds, until the 1921 FA Ban. I talk with Filmmaker, Polly Courtney, who has written an uplifting feature film based on the true story of Lily Parr, and the rise of women’s football that led to the FA ban. We also discuss what led to the FA lifting the ban in 1971. It's a fascinating conversation!
