The Gruaniad reports:

‘"Women," declared Luciano Gaucci, "have the same rights as
men."

‘Not a sentiment likely to provoke much controversy these
days - unless, as in this case, the speaker is a top
football club chairman who has just announced he intends to
put a woman into his side before the end of the coming
season.

‘"Our scouts have already begun scouring teams in Germany,
Scandinavia and the countries of the former Yugoslavia,"
said Mr Gaucci, chairman of the Italian Serie A side,
Perugia.

‘"Within six months, we'll have a woman in the squad. I am
convinced Perugia can be the first club in the world to have
a woman play in the top division with the men," he said.’
