Women's Football
The idea that some of the nation’s best female footballers could pass you on the street and you would not know them is a telling fact in a world where male footballers are ranked as celebrities.
Female football players have little or no recognition, but with the new Super League launched in 2011 and Olympics in 2012 is that about to change? These women look like your best friend, your average student, the woman you sit next to on the bus… and they have no airs and graces about them, yet they are all of these things and also England’s best footballers on the weekends.
Karen Carney maybe a year younger than Wayne Rooney, Sue Smith may have been voted best footballer in the world, however do they get the recognition their talent truly deserves?
This PIC (Photo Imaging Council) award winning body of work explores the recognition and exposure that the women's largest participated UK sport receives and also the identity of it's players.
