The first of our players to nominate a club from the KDSA, as it was then. Socceroo #313 is Grant Lee who has named Lane Cove Utd as his GrassRoots club. Many's the battle we had with the Covers at one of nature's great little amphitheatres, in Pottery Green, a stone's through from the heart of Lane Cove on Sydney's lower North Shore. Appropriate given that last night his Sydney Olympic made it through to the last 16 of the FFA Cup last night in the ACT. Well done sir & welcome aboard.
