Newcastle Women remember Wembley match 30 years on

Nearly 30 years ago, Newcastle Women's Football Club made history in their first game at Wembley.

It was a warm-up match on 11 August 1996 ahead of Newcastle United's Charity Shield against Manchester United, where Alan Shearer made his debut following a world record £15m transfer fee.

The team lost 2-0 but became the first Newcastle women's team to play at the stadium.

Founded by Kim Moore in 1989, the team was set up because, she said, there were "fewer opportunities for women, especially North East women".

"We weren't affiliated with Newcastle United until 2005 so we had to fundraise to get to Wembley, but it was a dream come true."

Newcastle Women FC became Newcastle United Women FC in 2005 when they officially became part of Newcastle United.
