In the early 1970s in Scotland, women' s football existed in the margins. Unrecognised by the Scottish Football Association, banned from playing in stadiums and with no recognised national team. Arrival tells the fascinating, inspiring and uplifting story of how Scotland' s women footballers fought for their right to play, battling hostility, prejudice and intolerance in order to create a national side that the country could be proud of. Drawing on illuminating interviews with Scotland players and managers past and present, including Anna Signeul and Shelley Kerr, it tells the inside story of the remarkable journey that the Scotland women' s national team made from formation to eventual qualification for the European Championship and World Cup. It reveals the passion, commitment and determination that enabled Scotland to build a squad capable of competing with the best in the world and inspiring a generation. Arrival is the true story of a team battling against the odds to take their place on the world stage.
Steven Lawther has written widely on football in fanzines and magazines. His first book, Unthinkable: Raith Rovers' Improbable Journey From the Bottom to the Top of Scottish Football was named on the Scotsman' s Best Scottish Sports Reads of 2014. He is a passionate supporter of Raith Rovers and the Scotland women' s national team, having travelled with his wife and daughter to the Netherlands, Switzerland and France to back the side.
