EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the history of Shepherds Bush as sixteen traffic wardens proudly pose together, having formed their very own ladies football team. United by their love for the sport and a shared sense of camaraderie, these trailblazing women embarked on an exciting journey that defied societal norms. Intriguingly, they held a spirited competition amongst themselves to find the perfect name for their team. It was Mrs June Nott who emerged victorious with her suggestion - "The Yellow Lions". This moniker perfectly encapsulated both their vibrant spirit and unwavering determination. Eager to showcase their skills and test themselves against worthy opponents, the Yellow Lions visited Queens Park Rangers ground one afternoon. There, they had the privilege of meeting some members of QPR's official team while also limbering up on hallowed turf. Their first match proved to be an unforgettable triumph as they faced off against Harrow Road Police Station's esteemed "D". Divisional Champions. Against all odds, the wardens emerged victorious with an impressive 6-2 scoreline. Their victory not only demonstrated their prowess but also shattered stereotypes about women's capabilities in sports. This photograph from February 24th, 1972 serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit and resilience of these pioneering women who fearlessly pursued their passion for football amidst challenging times. Their story is one that continues to inspire generations and reminds us all that barriers are meant to be broken.
