The duo are part of this year’s entry to the prestigious list and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a celebratory dinner in October, after The FA had the honour of choosing inductees in the Female Players category.
And it’s fully deserved for long-serving Everton defender Unitt (pictured), who won 102 caps for the Lionesses and former Liverpool and Everton goalkeeper goalkeeper Brown-Finnis, who played in an FA Cup Final aged just 15 and went on to win 82 England caps.
Kelly Simmons, The FA’s Director for Participation and Development, said: The two Rachels, who each have consistently demonstrated their dedication, commitment and team spirit. They are worthy inductees who we are proud to have had the honour of naming.”
They will be immortalised next to legends such as Sir Tom Finney, Gordon Banks, Alan Shearer and last year’s inductees Gary Neville and Norman Hunter, whose achievements are already celebrated with a place in the Hall of Fame, a focal point of the museum.
