EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from November 1969, we are transported back to the Ashton Junior Football club where ex-model Bobbie Leigh takes on the role of trainer-coach. With her rule book in hand, she confidently leads training sessions with a group of young players, showcasing her dedication and passion for youth development. Bobbie Leigh's transition from the fashion industry to football is truly remarkable. As a youth club leader new to the game of soccer, she brings a fresh perspective and enthusiasm that resonates with both the children and their parents. Her presence on the field not only inspires these aspiring athletes but also challenges traditional gender roles within sports during this era. The image captures an important moment in time when women were beginning to break barriers and make their mark in male-dominated fields. Bobbie Leigh's commitment to coaching demonstrates that anyone can pursue their passions regardless of previous experience or societal expectations. Set against the backdrop of a housing estate, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of childhood and community engagement through sport. The young players eagerly listen as Bobby imparts her knowledge, fostering teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among them. This print serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes our greatest achievements come when we step outside our comfort zones and embrace new opportunities wholeheartedly.
