Lindsay England - We're not homophobic.(English)
Channel: ColloqueFSGL
Date: 2013-03-11

Lindsay England grew up loving and playing sport, mainly football, from an early age. She played for her school, and at county level in cricket, badminton and tennis. In her early twenties, she lived in an area without a women's football, and so played for the Halifax Ladies Rugby League team. She also represented Yorkshire as part of the very first Great Britain women's Rugby League, set up in the late 1980s. After an injury ended her career in competitive sport, she became very active with supporters clubs for Bradford City football club until 2003, as well as England fans and FSF and FSE organisations through 2008. She now focuses on her campaign related to LGBT issues in football, which has taken the form of the JUST A BALL GAME? blog, launched one year ago. Beyond a blog, it is a fully constituted campaign and activist group.
