⚽️NEW EPISODE⚽️ In 1921, the FA banned women from playing on any of its pitches, a ban that would last 50 years. Who were the women who fought back? In for Ros Taylor, @soundslikejade talks to historian @JeanMWilliams to find out.

🚨BREAKING: 179 health workers gathered outside St Thomas’ Hospital to demand the release of the 179 Palestinian health workers held in secret detention by Israeli forces.
These brave health workers were taken by Israeli forces while risking their lives to provide medical care.

For 3 years, the Taliban have showed us exactly who they are: misogynists who oppress girls and women. Their new laws banning Afghan women from speaking in public only further extend their system of gender apartheid. theguardian.com/global-devel…

New.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino received the Qatar report in December 2023, but still hasn’t released it. Not even Fifa council members have seen the report.

My Shero, Althea Gibson, was born on this day, 97 years ago.
She was courage and strength personified, and watching her play when I was 13 showed me what World No. 1 looked like.
She was the 1st Black person to win a major, and in doing so blazed a trail for so many others.
May we always honor her memory.

Last night Glory co-hosted it's first ever book launch at @TheVolleyLondon, to celebrate fifty years since @admiral1914 pioneered the replica shirt market.
A year in the making, the book was incredibly well received by over 150 attendees who also witnessed a Q&A expertly hosted by Sky Sports' @HayleyMcQueen , featuring Admiral's Theo Hamburger, @JeanMWilliams @ProfGroves and illustrator-extraordinaire @TrueColoursKits. We even had a few football-mad musicians attend including those from @the1975, @royalblooduk, @bastille and @youmeatsix.
Huge thanks to Charlie Hood and the team at Volley for providing the incredible venue, my partners in crime for this project Rob MacDonald and Adam Bushby at @HalcyonPublish1 , and everyone at Admiral for believing in us. Not to mention all of the countless contributors who were integral in the production of this book.

Fantastic launch last night for the book Admiral 50 Years of Replica Football Shirts.
Great to be part of a panel alongside Professor Jean Williams, John Devlin, and Theo Hamburger. The panel was chaired by Hayley McQueen, whose father, Gordon McQueen, wore Admiral while playing for Leeds United in the early 1970s.
My essay in the book, "Admiral and the Aesthetic Merit of Design," examines how Admiral revolutionised sportswear through design innovation and significantly influenced the emergence of the casual subculture in the late 1970s. As a result, branded sportswear has become the predominant style of dress for a large portion of the population today, nearly fifty years later.
The book features contributions from James Brown, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Sue Smith, Jean Williams, Jacqui McAssey, Peter Shilton, Roy Hodgson, Viv Anderson, Harry Pearson, Rob Bagchi, Daniel Grey, Andi Thomas, Ian King, and Ian Plenderleith.
You can buy a copy of the book here: admiralsports.com/products/5…
