About this listen

Welcome to The Kids Were Alright: A Women's Football History. Each week we will spotlight the pioneers and analyse the events that made women's football what it is today. You'll hear from inspiring women who made history in the game and from expert historians to give the context to those events. In this episode, Laura Howard speaks to Linda Gorman, the former captain and the first female manager of the Irish Women’s National team. She speaks about the treatment and lack of support for the women’s team, the importance of male allies in the growth of women’s football in Ireland and her experience as the first female manager in 1991. Laura also speaks to Dr. Katie Liston to learn more about the social and historical context surrounding Gorman's career
