Matilda #73, goalkeeper Claire Nichols, is todays nominator & the club she has put up is one with a very rich history indeed. Bardon LaTrobe FC from Brisbane's inner west is Claire's GrassRoots club. The current club was formed when Bardon (1926) & LaTrobe (1916) clubs merged in 1970 to play out of Bowman Park amidst the lush surrounds of Mt. Coot-tha .
Claire made her custodial debut for the Matildas alongside 5 others in the 1994 clash with Russia. A fellow debutant that day would go on to become Australia's most capped footballer, Cheryl Salisbury. Claire would be capped 19 times over a 9yr span.
