THE LOST LIONESSES ARE A TEAM THAT PLAYED IN THE MEXICO WORLD CUP IN 1971. THE TOURNAMENT LAUNCHED THE TEAM TO OVERNIGHT FAME AND STARDOM AS THEY PLAYED IN FRONT OF CROWDS OF 90,000. BUT ON THEIR RETURN TO ENGLAND, THIS SUPPORT FELL SILENT - THE PLAYERS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY BANNED FROM PLAYING FOOTBALL, SOME NEVER TO PLAY AGAIN.

DUE TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE 'UNOFFICIAL' TOURNAMENT, OUR TEAM FROM '71 ARE YET TO BE OFFICIALLY RECOGNISED.

THANK YOU TO TILL DAWN I HAVE HAD THE HUGE HONOUR OF MAKING 14 BESPOKE CAPS FOR THE LOST LIONESSES, TO CELEBRATE AND COMMEMORATE THIS TEAM FOR BEING TRUE PIONEERS OF WOMEN'S FOOTBALL.

EACH CAP IS UNIQUE IN ITS DESIGN, MADE FROM ENGLAND JERSEYS WORN BY LIONESSES THAT HAVE COME AFTER THIS HISTORIC TEAM.
