What is recorded here
Kilnamanagh is a small Dublin suburb where a girl kicked a football for boys before girls' teams existed, then became the youngest captain in Irish history. She left at twenty with Arsenal, won Europe's largest club trophy, and returned each summer to represent a nation that had barely noticed her. The street remembers her stride more than any monument could.
