Today's offering is another from the Sydney Hills FA, its Socceroo #441, Hayden Foxe. Hayden has nominated the Winston Hills FC as his GrassRoots club. Based at Max Ruddock Reserve, the Bears came into being in 1970, 28yrs before Hayden made his international debut in a friendly against the US in the build-up to the Confederations Cup.
