The nomination for today is the second for Bulleen. Socceroo #550 is Matthew Leckie who joins Con Blatsis in naming Bulleen Lions as his GrassRoots club.
Matt was another late starter not picking up the game till he was 11, making his way through the ranks at Veneto Park till he was picked up by Aurelio Vidmar to join Adelaide Utd in the A-League.
Making his debut in the Green & Gold off the bench in the friendly against Sth. Korea in 2012, he was a starter in Ange's first side against Costa Rica a month later and impressed everyone present at the SFS that night. He has gone on to become a mainstay of the Australian attack & is forging a strong reputation in the Bundesliga.
