Former Liverpool manager Matt Beard has been posthumously inducted into the Women's Super League Hall of Fame, alongside notable figures Casey Stoney and Kerys Harrop.

Beard, who tragically passed away in September 2025 at the age of 47, led Liverpool to back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014. He had a second stint with the Reds starting in 2021, but was sacked in February 2025. His last managerial role was at Burnley, where he resigned after just two months in August 2025.

His extensive career also included positions at Millwall Lionesses, Chelsea, West Ham United, and Boston Breakers in the National Women's Soccer League, along with an interim role at Bristol City. The WSL highlighted Beard's significant impact on women's football over nearly two decades, noting his historic management of Chelsea in the league's inaugural fixture in April 2011.

Casey Stoney, also inducted, enjoyed a remarkable playing career, winning 12 major trophies, including league titles and FA Cups with Chelsea, Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Lincoln Ladies, and Liverpool. After retiring in February 2018, she became the first head coach of Manchester United, leading them to promotion in her first season and solidifying their status in the league.

Kerys Harrop debuted in the WSL with Birmingham City in 2011, winning the FA Cup in 2012. With 135 appearances for her hometown club, she later joined Tottenham Hotspur before retiring in 2023. The WSL recognized Harrop as a pioneer of the game, holding the record for the most appearances in the division during her career.
