From Fashion to Football: Karen Dobres’ Pitch Invasion

Author Karen Dobres shares the remarkable story behind her new book Pitch Invasion. Once working in the world of fashion, then moving into therapy, she never imagined she’d end up on the board of Lewes FC, a football club with a radical ethos.

Elected as a director, Karen helped drive a historic change: Lewes became the only football club in the world to pay its women’s team the same as its men’s.

With honesty, wit, and a deep belief in equality, Karen reveals how her feminist values collided with the beautiful game and changed it forever.
