Matt Simon, Socceroo #526, has named East Gosford FC as his GrassRoots club.
Matty came right up through the grades at Hylton Moore Park and slid straight into the Mariners set-up as a teenager.
He made his Australian debut off the bench in the 2009 AFC Qualifier against Indonesia in a side made up entirely of A-League players, 9 of whom were also making their international debuts.
Matt is still regularly seen around the club which is only a long iron over the ridge from Central Coast Stadium & will always be close to club he grew up in.
