New Lily Parr display at National Football Museum

About

Lily Parr – one of football's first female superstars - gets a new permanent museum display dedicated to her life and legacy.

It features never-seen-before photographs of Lily and her teammates - which were found in an old suitcase hidden in a loft for four decades.

Emerging in the 1920s as part of Preston's Dick Kerr Ladies, Parr scored nearly 1000 goals in a three-decade career. She played in some of the world's first women's international matches and was a trailblazer for women footballers the world over.

The National Football Museum unveiled a statue of Parr in 2019.
