A few hours after the final whistle had brought an end to Manchester City Women’s FA Cup triumph, their winger Nikita Parris strolled into a fast food restaurant at the foot of Wembley Way.

It was still full of fans who had made the short walk down from the stadium, but barely an eyebrow was raised, and Parris went virtually unnoticed.

In many ways, it was refreshing - imagine the reaction if a male footballer popped into the local McDonald’s hours after winning the FA Cup. But it also provided a reminder of just how far the women’s game has to go, and that these players, the best the country has to offer, are still some way short of being recognisable stars on these shores.

Saturday’s final was certainly a step in the right direction, though, and it made for a much-needed success for the game after Notts County folded last month. A record crowd of more than 35,000 streamed into Wembley, and the quality of Manchester City’s play in their demolition of Birmingham City Ladies was a wonderful advert.

Three first-half goals ensured it was only ever going to be Manchester City’s title, and the 4-1 victory means Nick Cushing’s side now hold all three major domestic trophies.
