Through the power of AI, the #WeSeeYou Network – a culture-shifting initiative between Three UK and Chelsea Football Club, celebrating inspirational women in football – is shining a light on the legendary Lily Parr.
A trailblazer in the women’s game, Lily Parr scored over 900 goals (that’s more than Ronaldo!), played to crowds of over 46,000 and stood tall against adversity, continuing to play when the English Football Association (the FA) banned women’s football in 1921, for 50 years. Lily Parr is considered one of the country’s greatest players of her generation. And few knew her story, until now.
In the exclusive “Interview of the Century”, AI brings Lily back 100 years later for a conversation with Chelsea FC legend Karen Carney, offering insight into Lily’s legacy, the challenges she faced and her vision for women’s football. A factory girl by day and trailblazer by night, Lily Parr defied the odds and revolutionised the women’s game, laying the foundations for the sport today. And now, through the power of AI, Lily’s legendary journey is being celebrated and shared with the world.
