For the first time since 1966, an England football team has lifted an international trophy at Euro 2022 on home soil and against the Germans. The Lionesses did what the men have failed to do. Yet just over half a century ago women weren't allowed to play on many pitches. One of the leading lights in the early days of modern women's football, Patricia Gregory - a founding member of the Women's FA, was joined by Jean Sseninde, a former Uganda international now involved with training the next generation in her home country. Together, they spoke to Newshour's Razia Iqbal about the impact of England's tournament win.
