When Rebecca Welch crosses the white line on Saturday to lead out Fulham and Burnley, history will have been made.
The Premier League's first female referee. It has taken until 2023, more than 30 years since the league's creation, but it's finally happening.
Yet, unbeknown to many, Wendy Toms was the league's first female refereeing official in 1997. She was a linesman, a position now termed as assistant referee.
It was her who broke down the gates and kept them wide open for Welch and others.
Not that Toms ever complained as she was called 'f***ing hopeless' by Andy Gray; or as she had security marshal her in the Premier League; or as she was turned away from grounds because of her gender.
