First viewed : 3 January 1995
This was a documentary about the pre-eminent women's football team at the time, the Doncaster Belles. I remember my friend chastising me for watching it, suggesting I was only interested in the locker room scenes which was not true at all ( well maybe a little bit ). The documentary helped to inspire a popular drama series which we'll come to in due course.
Since then of course, the Belles have been elbowed out of the big time as the big money clubs , the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City have bought their way into the women's game.
I don't like to give Arsenal anything but to be fair to them, Arsenal WFC were always a big time team, rather than one that has bought its way into the game. At the time, the season was dominated by Donny and Arsenal with them on rotation for PL wins throughout the first half of the 90s
