With a hugely successful playing career spanning twenty years – including numerous trophies at club level and receiving the first of her 66 England caps at the age of sixteen – Powell was always going to make her mark on the game. Yet it was once she got her coaching badges and hung up her boots that she had the biggest impact.
In Hope: My Life in Football, Powell relives the highlights of a lifelong career in the sport – from her playing days, through her incredible fifteen-year tenure as England manager, to her being the first woman to gain the UEFA Pro Licence coaching qualification, and her time managing Great Britain Women at the 2012 Olympics.
A true role model, Powell has constantly commanded respect and refused to accept the prejudice and bigotry surrounding the women’s game. Hers is the inspirational story of one of the most influential figures in world football.
Hope Powell was born in south London in 1966, and began playing football at the age of eleven. She played in four FA Cup finals, captained Croydon to a League and Cup double, and was capped for England 66 times during a sixteen-year period, scoring 35 goals from midfield. In 1998 she began a fifteen-year stint as manager of the England Women team, leading them to unprecedented success. During that time England qualified for four UEFA Championship finals and two World Cup finals, and saw their players receive central contracts for the first time. Powell also managed the Great Britain Women team at the 2012 Olympics, and was awarded a CBE for services to sport. She is currently the first female coach educator at the Professional Footballers’ Association.
