Episode Synopsis

In this bonus episode, I tell the story of the English team that took part in an "unofficial" Women's World Cup in 1971 - a part of football history that was lost to the nation for over four decades and is absent from official records.
Mexico saw crowds of 90,000 pack into their Azteca Stadium to witness the tournament and Leah Caleb, one of the English women who went out to Mexico with the team, reminisces about the incredible experience.
Main excerpts from a one to one interview with Leah Caleb and a small excerpt taken from Chris Lockwood's interview with the National Football Museum.
