Alice Delysia Kicking Off a Men's Football Match, 1920. 'Alice Delysia shocked some when she kicked off at a football match, but a few titters of disapproval couldn't stem such a tide. No Sir, or Madam. Suddenly on the sports fields there were women centre-forwards, goalkeepers, right backs, left backs, and better halves. Women had spotted their goals, and were now all out to get them'. From "Time To Remember - The Plunge Into Peace", 1920 (Reel 3); events of 1920 - weddings, women's rights, industrial unrest and problems in Ireland
