A female focused NF memoir from a model who disrupted the whole ethos of the football patriarchy.>

About the author

Karen Dobres is a former fashion model, trained Person-Centred Counsellor, and advocate for gender equality in football. Growing up in Neasden, Northwest London, during the peak of British football hooliganism, Karen had little interest in the sport, viewing it as a male-dominated, unsafe space. However, her perspective changed in 2017 when she discovered women's football and became a passionate supporter of Lewes FC-where she now serves as a Director. Karen has been featured on national TV and radio, and regularly speaks on gender issues in sport, promoting equity and inclusion both on and off the pitch. She lives in Lewes, East Sussex.
