Description

The story of female footballer Florrie and the amazing hidden history of the womens game come to life in this debut graphic novel about football, friendship and falling in love.

When Florries great-niece discovers she was a footballer in the early twentieth century, she unearths a secret history both on and off the pitch.

Boxes from the attic contain photos, objects and letters, revealing football games and love affairs in Norfolk, London and Paris. Florries adventures touch on both invented and real events: huge crowds at matches in London and Preston, international fixtures, dances at lesbian club Le Monocle in Paris, and the devastating consequences of the FA's 1921 ban on women's football.

This is a story of self-discovery, friendship and queer love, alongside huge (and little known) historical moments for the womens game. In Florrie, Anna Trench brings readers a beautifully drawn, evocative and warm-hearted love-song to an unforgettable woman and sport.
