Jane Haslam is a pivotal football figure in North Derbyshire and beyond. Starting out playing in the works team when she was a teenager she went on to form Sharley Park Spireites in 1991, a club that became Chesterfield FC Women, celebrating their 30th anniversary this year.
She was also only the second woman to become a fully qualified FA coach and worked with the England set up, introducing players like Karen Carney and Ellen White to the International game.
I spoke to Jane, from her home in America, about her personal journey and development of the women's game in the UK.
