Today's nominator is one of the originals; Matilda #11, Leigh Wardell.
Leigh has nominated West Pymble FC from the Ku-ring-gai Association on Sydney's upper North Shore as her GrassRoots club & in doing so has joined fellow Matilda, Carol Vinson.
Leigh was a member of the very first Australian Women's side that took on NZ in a series of 3 matches in Sydney in October of 1979, thus securing her place in history.
In all, she earned 14 caps over a 9-year career scoring 4 times in the process.
She is now the 2nd of the originals to come on board & it is indeed an honour to have her with us.

    the author

    Greg Werner began playing in 1965, with the GrassRoots club of Socceroo skipper Murray Barnes, a change of suburb at age 6 and a new club, one that would become the GrassRoots club of Rob Wheatley & after a 27 year hiatus came back to playing with the GrassRoots club of Socceroos Steve Perry, Richie Bell, Chris Iconomidis & Matilda, Justine Fisher, one could say that the links with the NT are ingrained.
    At age 55, when his body gave up on playing, he took up the whistle to stay actively involved. In November of 2014 he created the GFP on Facebook to fill the void left by those in control of the game & in January 2016 launched this website.
