in partnership with publishers, Legend Press

sports writer and author, Carrie Dunn

Carrie Dunn has covered events from the Ashes to the Olympics for national and international publications, and is a regular broadcaster on TV and radio. She is an expert on women's football history; her book 'Unsuitable for Females' was shortlisted for Football Book of the Year at the 2023 Sports Book Awards.
More recently 'Woman Up' was nominated for the 2024 Vikki Orvice Award for
Women's Sport Writing.

As an academic, her PhD examined the experience of football fans in England - and if she's not at some kind of sporting event, she's likely to be in a theatre, either in the audience or on stage.

Carrie settled along the north Wales coast after her own footballing career began and ended with the Junior Hatters' supporters' club in her home town of Luton.
