Bella Reay

Placeholder for Bella Reay blue plaque

Issabella (Bella) Reay (1900–1979) was an English association football player between 1917 and 1919. She played at centre forward for Blyth Spartans and England, scoring 133 goals in one season in her team's unbeaten run of 30 matches to win the Munitionettes' Cup and was the best-known player. This was at a time when women's participation in public competitive football was controversial.
