It is a hard decision for a football fanatic to make when he or she has to decide to call it a day
It is a hard decision for a football fanatic to make when he or she has to decide to call it a day and give up football from the playing angle, and it is especially hard when one is such an ardent supporter of the game as Mrs Terry Clark, of Pavensey Bay, Suyssex.
But instead of living on past memories, 41 year old Terry has found the ideal substitute, for recently she passed the Football Associations Referees exam to become the only woman football referee in East Sussex, and one of a mere handful in the whole of Britain.
Terry passed the exam with flying colours and a 100 per cent pass - 185 our of 185, and although the FA will not allow women to register as referees, Terry will be awarded her Grade Three Certificate, this enables her to take charge of ladies and youth matches.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the difficult decision faced by football fanatics when they must bid farewell to playing the game. Mrs. Terry Clark, a devoted supporter of football from Pavensey Bay, Suyssex, found herself in this predicament. However, instead of dwelling on past memories, she discovered an ideal substitute – becoming a football referee. At 41 years old, Terry made history as the first woman football referee in East Sussex and one of only a handful in all of Britain. Her determination and passion for the sport shone through as she aced the Football Associations Referees exam with flying colors – achieving a perfect score of 185 out of 185. Although women were not permitted to register as referees at that time according to FA rules, Terry was awarded her Grade Three Certificate. This prestigious recognition allowed her to officiate ladies' and youth matches with authority and expertise. Terry's commitment extended beyond her role as a referee; she also managed her own car hire business in Pevensey. The photograph showcases this remarkable trailblazer at her home in Pevensey - a testament to her dedication both on and off the field. Taken on July 15th, 1971 by General (not affiliated with any company), this image immortalizes Terry Clark's groundbreaking achievement while highlighting the challenges faced by female sports enthusiasts during that era.
