Former German football player Baerbel Wohlleben, first German women's football champion and first woman winning the award"goal of the month" in 1974 holds a football during an AFP interview at her home.
Nevertheless, the sexist rules from a bygone era did not stop Wohlleben playing football and she will be cheering the German team at the women’s World Cup kick-off in France this June. “We were invited to a neighbour’s house and it was the first time I had seen a television,” remembered Wohlleben. “We were playing friendlies, on pitches which were half grass, half sand, because competition was forbidden by the DFB,” explained Wohlleben.
In 1974, the first sanctioned women’s championships took place in Germany and Woerrstadt made it to the final, beating Gelsenkirchen 4-0 with Wohlleben scoring her team’s superb third goal from a tight angle 20 metres out.“I received a phonecall from Cologne, from the national broadcaster, and was told my goal was chosen as the goal of the month for September – a woman had never won the award before,” Wohlleben said.
