A joyful, fairytale celebration of women's football. HoneyBall tells the story of an imagined women's team founded in London just after the FA lifted its ban on the women's game in 1971. It isn't a strict historical reconstruction but an interpretation of a feeling. Each section captures a different side of team life: the euphoria, the scrappiness, the sense of belonging, and the commutes and in-between moments off the pitch that make the struggle worthwhile.

Fashion runs throughout, nodding to the era and to the close bond between clothing and the sport. The book shows how women have developed their own style codes, grooming and embellishments beyond the uniform to express their love of the game. It is a spirited tribute to a side of football rarely given this kind of attention.
