Next Wednesday (5 March) I’ll be doing a talk at Manchester Central Library as part of the events leading up to International Women’s Day. The talk is on the Manchester Corinthians women’s football team that toured the globe between 1948 and 1992 and is based on a decade of research into the team. It’s free to attend but tickets should be booked in advance here:
The talk takes place between 5.30pm and 7pm at Manchester Central Library and will focus on the history of the club, based on the 50+ interviews I have performed with former players, coaches and their families. I’ll also have copies of Manchester Corinthians: The Authorised History available at the discounted price of £20 (normally £25) for those who wish to buy the book that evening.
Why not come along and learn all about these remarkable women. In advance why not watch this 18 minute documentary put together by Imprint Films on the Corinthians? It includes brief interviews with a small group of the women I interviewed, plus I help to explain why they are so significant. The free Library talk will of course go into much more detail (as does the book):
If you can’t make it to the talk then watch out for others. You can also find out about the book here:
