Today's nominator hails from one of the early hotbeds of Australian football. Matilda #64, Kaylene Janssen (KJ) has nominated Ipswich City as her GrassRoots club.
KJ started in '79 in an all-girls side (a rarity for its time) playing in an all-girls comp (even rarer). She graduated to playing with one of the big guns in Qld football, Coalstars, from where she made her international debut in 1991 during the unsuccessful tilt at the first FIFA Women's World Cup. She was still around the Australian midfield 4-years later when the girls qualified for Sweden.
In all the midfielder racked up 15 caps over 4 years in the national team & still counts her former Ipswich team mates as amongst her besties.
Welcome aboard KJ.
