Another late comer to the game, our latest addition to the GFP honour roll will be the last player, chronologically, to name one of the great clubs of Queensland, St.Helens, as her GrassRoots club.

Having just moved from BrisbaneTeri McQueen, Matilda #38. started out as a flying winger at the famous Ebbw Vale ground, Memorial Park in Ipswich at the age of 16. St.Helens, along with Bundamba Rangers, Booval, Blackstone Rovers & Dinmore Bush Rats was the backbone of the West Moreton Assoc which rivalled any competition in the land. She is the third player behind Queensland legends Eric Petie & Bunny Nunn to arise from the club.

McQueen moved to Perth (Kiev) before returning to Coalstars where she played alongside fellow Matildas Michelle Sawyers, Louise McMurtrie, then later on Bryony Duus, Kaylene Janssen, Belinda Kitching & Sonia Gegenhuber

She won her caps in New Zealand in 1986 at right back in the Oceania Cup, represented Qld for 5 seasons before a ruptured anterior cruciate brought about a premature end to her representative playing days in 1989, whence she turned her hand to coaching. In 1992 she took the Ipswich U16s to the State title and was responsible for turning Belinda Kitching, from a "less than active" forward, into a keeper of world class. 

Her last hurrah came in 1994 captaining the Tropical Queensland side to "Gold" at the World Masters.

    Greg Werner began playing in 1965, with the GrassRoots club of Socceroo skipper Murray Barnes, a change of suburb at age 6 and a new club, one that would become the GrassRoots club of Rob Wheatley & after a 27 year hiatus came back to playing with the GrassRoots club of Socceroos Steve Perry, Richie Bell, Chris Iconomidis & Matilda, Justine Fisher, one could say that the links with the NT are ingrained.
    At age 55, when his body gave up on playing, he took up the whistle to stay actively involved. In November of 2014 he created the GFP on Facebook to fill the void left by those in control of the game & in January 2016 launched this website.
