EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s, a time when women's football was still in its early stages. The image features Edna Neillis, a true trailblazer and pioneering professional women's football player. With her impressive career spanning across AC Milan and Scotland, Edna stands as an inspiration for aspiring female athletes around the world. Kneeling down next to a weathered "NO BALL GAMES" sign, Edna's determination is palpable. This powerful juxtaposition symbolizes the barriers she had to overcome in order to pursue her passion for football. Undeterred by societal norms that limited opportunities for women in sports during that era, she fearlessly broke through boundaries and paved the way for future generations of female athletes. The photograph captures not only Edna's unwavering dedication but also serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality within sports over the years. It stands as a testament to all those who fought against adversity and shattered stereotypes. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we cannot help but feel immense gratitude towards individuals like Edna Neillis who dared to challenge conventions and reshape history. Her legacy lives on today through countless young girls who dream of playing professional football at the highest level. Memory Lane Prints allows us to cherish these significant moments in sporting history while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping them – like Edna Neillis – forever etched into our collective memory as an icon of strength
