![]() Four decades ago while kicking a ball against a wall with ‘NO BALL GAMES’ pinned to it I would never have dreamt that English football would have been bouncing from one crisis to another and that I’d be charged with helping the nation’s favourite pastime navigate its way beyond and on to a brighter future. My love developed from kicking a ball to watching it on TV, going to Reachfields to cheer on Hythe Town, to collecting Panini stickers, coaching girls and finally getting a season ticket at Spurs.ĭespite being banned from playing football at school, simply for being a girl, the passion for the sport has stayed with me throughout my life. I would play for hours with the boys on the estate only pausing for the cars to pass or being called in for tea. ![]() ![]() Like millions of other children my first experience of football was playing it in the street outside my childhood home. ![]()
