  In 1989 a TV drama series hit the screens that rocked the world of football. Cherie Lunghi stars as Gabriella Benson a woman executive raised on the game by an often absent father. When her mother dies he reaches out to her - by cutting a deal with the faltering Blackburn Rovers to have her replace their current corrupt manager making her the first ever female manager of a football team. Rampant sexism political incorrectness corruption drugs fistfights and foul play. Nudity in the locker room is the least of Gabriella's worries as she comes up against fierce resistance from the team and their trainer up-front and the constant risk of Boardroom backstabbing from behind. But with astute business skills and a keen eye for the game she has loved all her life Gabriella Benson is about to show her team and the world that she's got what it takes to be The Manageress.
