‘Equality has to be more than words’: London City Lionesses go it alone

The newly formed club split from Millwall at the end of last season with a wish to stand on their own feet and will play in the FA Women’s Championship

A look at London City Lionesses when they formed in 2019 as the first fully independent club in the Championship.

Tracy Osborn's Millwall and FA Cup Adventure - Our Game Magazine

The COVID-19 pandemic forced several U.S. Women's National Team stars to seek consistent playing time outside of the United States, with England's FA Women's Super League a prime target. More than 20 years ago, before there was a professional league in the United States, one college standout also looked to England for consistent playing time. Tracy Osborn found it with Millwall, as well as a FA Cup.

MATCHDAY!

Before our boys play the big game today, our CHAMPIONS are playing their final away game in the Championship to Millwall. Now Millwall away does sound very daunting to every matchday goer but it’s not to The Den so there should be no problems in this game.

We may or may not see a rather different squad as we have already won the league however the gaffer has said to keep the intensity so maybe a few changes or less can be expected.

Let’s cheer on the champions once more to get them over the line! 

Come on United!

Megan Wynne signs again for Spurs Ladies from Millwall!

Spurs Ladies have secured the return of the versatile right-side player Megan Wynne to Cheshunt.

Megan is a 25-year-old Welsh international and lifelong Spurs fan who has played for the club before, when she joined us on loan from Watford in 2015. She has played in the top two tiers for several years now and was voted Millwall Lionesses’ Player of the Season for 2017/18.

She is comfortable playing as a wing-back or further up the pitch on the right-hand side, and provides pace and delivery. Megan hopes her experience in this league will help younger players at the club and praises Spurs’ progress in recent years, which she wants to help continue.

Karen Hills, who has worked with Megan before, knows her well and said, “I felt it was always a case of when she was going to return and we’re just happy to have her back home. She’s an outstanding young person who’s got an older head on her shoulders and gives everything she has for the team. She’s very committed and to have someone of that calibre coming to our club is going to be fantastic for the rest of the girls.”

Welcome back, Megan!

Rianna Dean signs for Spurs Ladies from Millwall Lionesses!

Spurs Ladies have been busy in the transfer business over the last couple of weeks and have confirmed the signing of striker Rianna Dean from London rivals Millwall.

19-year-old Rianna, a central striker, has been capped by England at the U19 level. In 2017/18, she was Millwall’s top scorer in 2017/18 with 10 goals in 23 appearances, and before that she played for Arsenal’s development side, scoring 37 goals in 20 games with them in 2016/17.

Her attraction to Spurs, she says, comes from seeing their progress over the years as a cohesive unit, as well as their overall family ethos. She is keen to “be part of that family now” and see the team finish higher up in the league table. Hoping to contribute goals, commitment and determination, Rianna wants to “just add to the fantastic qualities that the team already has.”

It’s clear that she will be a great addition to the squad and fit right in with the tight-knit team. Welcome to Spurs, Rianna!

Farewell, Katie

The mighty Katie Chapman announced her retirement at the end of this season, leaving her playing career behind to accept an ambassadorial role at Chelsea Ladies. She ends on a peak, having just won her tenth FA Cup medal in a final in which she looked unstoppable and ageless while also currently challenging for the league title; in 22 years, she won pretty much everything, including the quadruple with Arsenal, though she joked, ‘I've had a great career, no regrets, and I've won so many trophies--I don't even know how many, off the top of my head, and I probably should!’

I regret that I didn’t get to see enough of her in action with any of her clubs--FAWSL is sadly under-broadcast in its native England (why?), never mind here in the States, legally or otherwise--but I always loved watching her energetic, super-physical play. More than that, she was a great captain; I was really excited when she signed, having seen her with Chicago, but I remember being skeptical about her immediately being handed the armband on arriving. But she instantly was a Blue, a genuine one, and clearly loved leading and playing at this club. As she said herself when accepting the 2015 Player of the Year award, ‘Captaining this great bunch of players means more than any individual honors and recognition. I love this team, I absolutely love all of the girls. We’ve got a bunch of players who are blessed with great talent and personalities, a really good mix, and I love leading them.'

Emma Hayes, who worked with her many times at various clubs through the years, wrote a lovely tribute to her, noting that ‘Katie will always be known by those who worked with her as a tireless, fearless, consistent performer who has always been at the top of her game, regardless of the club or stage of her career. She’s an out-and-out winner.‘
