Longford Girls FC: the football team created by a group of mums

When a group of mums in Manchester found a lack of support for female football teams, it didn't stop them - what did they do? They set up their own football team to coach themselves. Now five years later the club is going from strength to strength.
As part of Ö÷²¥´óÐã World Service's from Elite level to grassroots football series, former England international Sue Smith went to meet the players and coaches at Longford Girls FC.
