Barbara and Carol saw the idea being employed in Hawaii, while they were on a women's football course, and brought it back with them. </div> <bR> <div> They had an almighty battle with the status quo merchants, but prevailed, and it is now part and parcel of the game through all grades of football bar senior level.</div> <bR> <div> Then there was the ten-year battle to get mixed football - boys and girls playing in the same teams up until their teenage years - in place throughout Junior Football. Yes, you have Barbara to blame for that now being de rigeur, too!</div> <bR> <div> These and other such initiatives were instigated and fought for while she was: </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f0ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">captaining her country in the bulk of her 33 appearances;</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f0ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">leading Auckland on the park throughout the majority of her 123 games in blue-and-white;</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f0ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">winning league and cup honours galore with Eden, Eastern Suburbs and Mt.
