West Ham figurehead speaks of overcoming misogyny in football at Pendulum Summit

The vice-chairman of West Ham United and star of The Apprentice on BBC, Karren Brady, has spoken of the misogyny she faced when she entered the male-dominated football world - including being asked her physical measurements by the press.

The so-called first lady of football, who has overseen West Ham’s move from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium in London, became managing director of Birmingham City FC at the tender age of 23 in 1993.
