Early life
Hollinshead was born in Crewe, England. When she was 11, Hollinshead challenged a ban from The Football Association on girls over 11 not being allowed to play in the same football team as boys. After her father threatened legal action against The FA for sex discrimination, they announced that they were either considering changing the age limit to under-14 level or allow a special dispensation for one year to allow girls to play in boys teams.[3] During this time, she was a part of the Crewe Alexandra F.C. Girls Centre of Excellence.[3] She later went on to study Primary Education at Manchester Metropolitan University with a view to become a teacher.[2]
