They are still campaigning for official caps but the original Lionesses are proud of their achievements.
They played their first home international at Nuneaton's Manor Park pitch, beating Scotland 8-0."Girls weren't supposed to play football, they were supposed play with dolls houses and stuff," Mitchell-Firth, now 65, said adding she cried when the final whistle of Sunday's win against Germany was blown.
"It is a great feeling pulling on the England shirt, I am a proud Yorkshire lass, proud to come from England, I don't suppose I can explain but I was playing with pride, like the girls . The FA has said it will honour the England players who played under both The Women's FA and The FA from 1972 until the present day, in the autumn.
Allott, originally from Crewe, and who played for Foden, said women who got the call up for England would have one training session the day before their match. Substitute goalkeeper Sue Whyatt, who came in on in the 64th minute of the game, said the game was likely played at Manor Park as it was "the only one that would let us play".
"We had to pay our own train fares. When we played against France my mum and dad had to find £50 for me to be able to go ,"she said."To stand there in an England shirt and have the national anthem played, no matter how small the crowd was amazing, even now it brings a lump to my throat…it meant the world to me.
