Women’s football pioneer and prolific left winger Lilly Parr is set to become the first ever footballer of her gender to be honoured with a life-sized statue.

Parr, who was the first woman to be inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame, graced the field for the first time almost 100 years ago.
