Women’s football is enjoying a higher profile than ever thanks to the ongoing World Cup and one man from Bromley is doing his best to encourage more girls to get into the sport.

Songwriter Richard Francis is aiming to get even the youngest ladies into the beautiful game with a nursery rhyme released on Youtube called Sally The Football Girl.

Richard, 41, who lives in Bromley Common, said: “The game needs all the shout outs it can get and what better way to create an interest in the sport for toddler?

“Children's songs stay with you forever. A quality children's song gets passed through the generations, so hopefully Sally will be around long, long after me.

“There has never been a kid’s song - as far as I am aware - written about a girl footballer.”

Richard, who works in retail in the City, makes some money from his Youtube videos and dreams of making it his living.
