Former Players Remember:
Ian Wilson & Paul Ramsey
U
ntil the resumption of the Premier
League last week, the only competitive
behind-closed-doors match in Leicester
City’s history took place in January 1985.
Recently, Club Historian John Hutchinson
spoke to internationals Ian Wilson and Paul
Ramsey. They each played over 300 games for
City and they both took part in that strange
match in an empty stadium 35 years ago.

of that game to secure a 1-0 victory for Leicester City.
Last week, from their respective homes in Scotland
and Leicestershire, Scotland international Ian Wilson
and Northern Ireland international Paul Ramsey recalled
the build-up to the behind-closed-doors game and the
strange atmosphere which surrounded it.
“When the draw was made, Burton were a non-league
club,” said Ian. “We’d had experience a couple of years
before of losing to non-league Harlow Town. We knew
how difficult it could be going away from home in an FA
Cup tie. There’d been so many banana skins before. It was
a favourable draw for us, but obviously one that Burton
would be up for and a giant killing was on the cards.”
“When you are a First Division player you always feel
that you can switch off a little bit against a non-league
side and you think it’s going to be easy,” Paul agreed.
“However you always get a tough game. Burton had

they equalised. Then came the incident with the Burton
goalkeeper, who was struck by a missile from the crowd
behind the goal. At the time we didn’t think there might
be a problem. We thought he was play acting. We just
wanted to get on with the game. Neil Warnock was their
manager. He must have been young then. He came
onto the pitch. He was probably thinking he could
get something out of this. He thought it was worth
complaining. He’s always on at referees, even now!”
Ian also held this view.
“The goalkeeper wasn’t knocked out,” he said. “I don’t
know what he was struck with. When Neil Warnock
came on the pitch, he wanted the goalkeeper to carry
on. Then when we scored five more goals, he blamed the
defeat on the injury on their goalkeeper. That was the
frustrating part of it. It was a difficult one. If it had been
an outfield player, it would have been okay.”
The atmosphere at game was beginning to turn a little
sour.

development of the game. Today, Professor Matt Taylor looks at the pioneering career of Hope Powell.

FOOTBALL’S PIONEERS: Hope Powell
H
ope Powell is a true pioneer of British football.
As a player, she was part of the England squad
that qualified for the FIFA Women’s World
Cup for the first time in 1995. Three years later, she
became the first black and the first female manager of
any England national team. She coached England for 15
years, steering the team to four European Championship
and two World Cup tournaments. Hope also managed
the Great Britain team at the 2012 London Olympics.
Powell was born in South London in 1966. Although
a talented player from an early age, she was banned from
playing for her school team according to FA rules, which
prohibited mixed football beyond the age of 11. She then
joined Millwall Lionesses, eventually completing 11
seasons over two spells with the South London club. She
won her first FA Cup Final with Millwall in 1991, also
reaching the final with Friends of Fulham in 1989 and
Croydon in 1998. With Powell as captain, Croydon won
the league and cup double in 1995/96.
Selected first for England in 1983 at the age of 16, As England manager, Powell inherited a team ‘in fast
Powell went on to play 66 times for her country and decline’ and close to being demoted to the ‘B’ level of

qualifying for major tournaments. She then guided
England to the European Championship finals in 2001,
2005, 2009 and 2013 and the quarter-finals of the World
Cup in 2007 and 2011. The most significant achievement
was in 2009 in Finland, when England lost in the final to
Germany, one of the powerhouses of the women’s game.
Equally important was Powell’s role in helping to
establish an effective structure for elite women’s football,
from under-15s to under-23s. She was instrumental to
persuading The FA to agree to a central contract scheme
that would help players focus on training and playing free
from full-time jobs. In her dealings with the authorities’,
Powell felt she was constantly ‘fighting’ for women’s
football: “It was tough. I was female and black. The
decision-makers? White. Male. And middle class,” she said.
Over time, Powell’s achievements have been
recognised. She was inducted into the National Football
Museum Hall of Fame in 2003 and was appointed OBE
in 2002 and CBE in 2010. Sacked as England manager
in 2013 after a disappointing European Championship
