EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of women's football in the 1970s. The image showcases an all-female football team, proudly representing their club at the annual Laing Gala Day held at the picturesque Laing Sports Ground in Elstree, Barnet. With determination etched on their faces, these talented athletes strike a pose beneath the goalposts for a group photograph that immortalizes their camaraderie and love for the game. The Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust, recognized this powerful snapshot as a testament to women breaking barriers in sport. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come and celebrates those who paved the way for future generations of female athletes. Sport has always been a unifying force, bringing people together from different walks of life. This image beautifully encapsulates that spirit by showcasing not only teamwork but also individuality through each player's unique kit and uniform. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by Historic England Archive, let us be inspired by these trailblazing women who defied societal norms to pursue their passion for football.
