Gail Newsham was born in Preston in 1953 just a stone's throw from the DickKerr works.She has always had an abiding love of football and used to play in the street with the lads as a youngster.She began playing for Preston Rangers when she was 19 years old.She was a competent left-back with the team and won many honours whilst playing in the North West Women's Regional Football League.Gail was an active member of the League Management committee for many years holding almost every officer's position between 1981-1992 and in 1993 she was presented with a special award by the League in recognition of her services to women's football. In 1986 she was responsible for setting up the Lancashire Trophy an International Women's Soccer Tournamentwhich has attracted teams from AustriaGermanySwedenSwitzerland EireScotland and all parts of England.The event is exclusive to women's football and is now regarded as the best of its kind in the country. It wasn't until 1992whilst organising a re-union of Dick Kerr ladies at the Lancashire Trophy as part of the Preston Guild celebrationsit occurred to her that there was no official record charting the team's historyand unless something was done soon their story would die with them and be lost forever.Learning about the team and their remarkable success made her all the more determined to make sure their story was told. As a Prestonianshe is very proud of the team's origins and feels that DickKerr Ladies fully deserve the recognition this book will bring them. This real life sporting story is one of TriumphPrejudice and Betrayal. The Triumph: Dick Kerrs were one of the most successful football teams ever.They were virtually unbeatable.The public loved them.On Boxing Day 1920 - 53000 paid to see them play! They travelled the world and were World Champions. The Prejudice: The Football Association at the timeloathed them.They were seen as a major threat to the male domination of the sport. Incrediblywomen's football was banned in 1921 and for 50 years the Football Association refused to recognise it existed.After all women can't play football - can they The Betrayal: Records showthat thousands of pounds raised for charity in the 1920'sremains unaccounted for to this day!
