We stand on shoulders of giants, but in sport most of time we don’t have a clue who these heroic female pioneers are. Insta: BluePlaqueRebellion #RecogniseHer

The story of Victorian black female footballer, Emma Clarke, only came to light in 2017. Why are black female narratives routinely missing from mainstream history? Celebrating Emma Clarke, Britain’s First Black Female Football Pioneer Join the waitlist: bit.ly/2yd7xTe

“Emma Clarke garnered attention in 1895 as a black woman playing football. The fact she was able to make a life out of women’s football was extraordinary.” Michelle Moore on BBC Woman's Hour #HonourEmmaClarke

“I had to earn my ‘right’ to play. When I was 9 the boys in the playground said no when I wanted to play football...so I stood in the middle and disrupted the game until they let me play!” @_ESP_2012 on her battle to play the national game, over 100yrs after Emma Clarke did so.

“It’s essential that Emma is remembered. This amazing woman’s story was forgotten how many more might there be? There could be a whole world that we don’t even know exists.” @_ESP_2012 on BBC Woman's Hour #HonourEmmaClarke

“We would love a statue - less than 1% of named individual sport statues are of women. If I could take my niece to Wembley Way and see a statue of Emma Clarke that would really speak to her.” Michelle Moore on BBC Woman's Hour re visibility of Britain’s pioneer footballer Fare

What a story! ‘Illegal’ women’s football matches between Woolworths and M&S, and Widows vs Spinsters in 1935 Luton Town FC Would absolutely love to know more. Pls share to help uncover the history. #womeninfootball

Very sad to hear of the passing of Margaret Turner, Wales Women’s Lacrosse legend. Incredibly proud to have followed in her footsteps & played for her side. We can only aspire to be jetting around the globe, #pioneering sport, for half as long as she did.

Amazing story by Jim White. "She put her entire sporting life in the attic and never spoke of it again.” telegraph.co.uk/swimming/2019/…

And you're unlikely to be a sportswoman. Just 2 out of 200 statues of individual sports people in the U.K. are women. #RecogniseHer x.com/ccchloe/status…

There are just two statues of named individual sportswomen in the UK, versus almost 200 of men. #RecogniseHer x.com/fawcettsociety…
