EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in women's football history - the FA Women's Cup Final between Lowestoft and Cleveland Spartans on 1st May 1982. The match, held at QPR's Loftus Road in Shepherds Bush, London, marked the first time this prestigious event was staged at a Football League ground. However, controversy surrounded the game due to the unconventional plastic pitch. In this particular snapshot frozen in time, we witness an intense scene as a Lowestoft player stands defiantly at the end of a formidable wall of four Cleveland Spartans players. The anticipation is palpable as both teams battle for supremacy on the field. Lowestoft ultimately emerged victorious with a resounding 2-0 win over their opponents. Linda Curl and Angela Poppy etched their names into football folklore by scoring goals that secured glory for Lowestoft. The image itself exudes nostalgia from its depiction of classic 1980s attire and hairstyles. It serves as a testament to the professional prowess exhibited by these talented ladies who defied societal norms to compete fiercely in what was traditionally considered a male-dominated sport. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not only an important milestone in women's football but also showcases the dedication and determination displayed by these athletes during one unforgettable FA Women's Cup Final clash.
