Women’s football grew at a phenomenal rate in the 1940s and early 1950s in Manchester and on this day (22 March) in 1949 it was reported that the Manchester Corinthians had gained 18 new players in a month. In addition it was claimed that: ‘one of the biggest crowds seen around there for a long time’ had gathered at Fog Lane Park, Didsbury to watch a game between two full women’s teams. It was anticipated that the final Sunday in March would see the Corinthians have three complete teams ready for action at 2pm. The sport was growing and you can now find out the facts (not the fiction!) about this incredible team in my new book. Manchester Corinthians: The Authorised History is a must for anyone interested in Manchester or women’s football and consists of 356 pages.
