3rd March 2021 is the 70th anniversary of the first England women’s hockey match at Wembley Stadium in 1951. It was the dawn of a 41-year era of annual matches played at this iconic stadium.

The first Wembley match – indeed the whole Wembley era – is one of the most pioneering, iconic moments in the history of UK hockey. To celebrate, The Hockey Museum (THM), in partnership with Talk Hockey Radio, have recorded a panel discussion reflecting on the Wembley era and featuring the reminiscences of former England captains Anita White and Maggie Souyave, and Christabel Russell Vick, co-author of THM's book "The Magic of Wembley" and whose mother, Mary Russell Vick was President of the All England Women's Hockey Association (AEWHA) and key to realising this iconic fixture. The panel discussion was presented by Talk Hockey Radio's Taff Ahmed and Simon Webb, and co-hosted by former England and Great Britain captain Kate Richardson-Walsh.
