S13E41 Guest Special: Professor Fiona Skillen

In a different focus on women's football, Dave caught up with Glasgow Caledonian University's Professor Fiona Skillen. While most of our focus on this podcast so far has been on the current developments in the SWPL or with the women's Scottish National Team, Professor Skillen was named BBC Woman Expert in 2014 for her research on women's sport history. As well as discussing Fiona's own work, we go into detail of some key areas of the history of women's football in Scotland. From wartime football, to Rutherglen Ladies, to the only country to turn down women's football in the 1970s, as well as some upcoming books, there's more than a few topics covered that might help shine a light on some of the challenges that the game still faces today.
