Kerry Davis: First black woman to play for England inducted into the National Football Museum’s Hall of Fame
Kerry was inducted in the Hall of Fame during the final day of the Football Writing Festival which has been hosted by the museum once more. Kerry was part of the panel talk ‘Legacy of the Lionesses’ alongside author Carrie Dunn, journalist Miriam Walker-Khan and host Harriet Muckle. During her 16-year international career, Davis represented the England women’s national football team in the inaugural 1984 UEFA Championships final and at England’s first FIFA Women’s World Cup appearance in 1995. She also helped England win the Mundialito tournament in Italy and scored for her country at Wembley Stadium. In total, the ex-forward won 82 caps and scored an impressive 44 goals for England.
At club level her journey began in Stoke on-Trent as a 23-Year-old student playing for Crewe Alexandra Ladies, when Italian club Roi Lazio signed her in November 1985. She spent four years playing semi–professionally in Italy, one year at the Stadio Flaminio with Roi Lazio, two years with Trani and one with Napoli.
