In recent years however, football has changed and we are now seeing more women championing the beautiful game, both on the pitch and in the terraces.

    To discuss these developments we welcome the founder of photo-zine GIRLFANS Jacqui McAssey, and the Chair of LFC Women's Supporter's Club, Jay Goodall.

    In four short years, the Eric's club in Liverpool became legendary for its international roster, raucous punk antics and youth centric outlook.
