There are a few events lined up where I’ll be talking about the Corinthians. These are free to attend (details below) and tonight (31 January) I’ll be on Lewis Connell’s sport show on Tameside Radio too. That’s on at 7pm (link below). Thanks to Lewis for the invite. He’s been a key supporter of the Corinthians project over the last few years.

There will also be talks with schools and other groups soon. If you’d like me to talk at your library, group or school then please get in touch.

UK ONLY – Manchester Corinthians: The Authorised History

The story of a pioneering women’s club as told to Gary James by those who were there. This will be published in late December 2024. This is UK only at £25 (incl UK postage and packaging). Outside UK contact for additional postage costs.

£25.00

To get a feel for the Corinthians’ story and the book you can watch an 18 minute video put together by Imprint Films here:

If you’ve issues watching the video there (youtube may ask you to sign in) you can also watch it here (click on the ‘Watch on Youtube’, bottom left if your link doesn’t work):

I’d like to say my heartfelt thanks to Manchester City for their help and for inviting the Corinthians. I’s also like to thank all at Imprint Films for doing the video. In the spirit of Percy Ashley himself, they have funded the production of this video themselves and have the desire to see the Corinthians story spread widely. This is, of course, something I totally believe in myself. We need to spread this story and let the entire world know about the Corinthians.

Please share the video and, while you’re at it, spread the news about the book too. Both are self funded and we need help to spread the word.

A Corinthian On This Day

On this day (24 January) in 1969 the Manchester Evening News did a piece on Gladys Aikin and her role as the manager of the Manchester Corinthians. It was a piece focusing on a woman being in charge of a football team and did include one or two comments about ‘offside rule’ but was important in the wider scheme of things. Gladys’ story is told in my new book of course and her daughter Carol talks about her mum (and also Carol’s own time with the club) in this video, filmed at the Corinthians reunion last month:

Over the coming weeks and months. I’ll be talking at some events about them – including this Monday (27 January) at the Reddish branch of the MCFC supporters club:

The Corinthians as Guests of MCFC

Today a small group of Manchester Corinthians have been welcomed as guests of Manchester City to their WSL game with Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium. It was a great gesture by the club and followed the staging of a reunion of the Corinthians held at the stadium last month.

The group included a 90 year old former player and others in their 70s and 80s. All of them inevitably appear in my book, Manchester Corinthians: The Authorised History (see below for details). Some of them also feature in this wonderfully produced video, filmed at the Corinthians reunion last month. For details of the video and to watch it see:
