As England get ready to make history at Wembley in less than a months time, I look back at the first time I saw the women's national team play live. On 1st April 2010, during qualifying for the 2011 Women's World Cup, in the 1-0 win against Spain.
I had been following the women's team for a while by this point, especially during the successful run to the final of the European Championships the previous year, but hadn't yet been able to see the team play in person. I picked out the match vs Spain in London as it wasn't far to travel and managed to convince by Dad to come with me, although as a Crystal Palace fan he wasn't particularly happy about going to The Den, Millwall's ground!
