To be the first player capped for your country in your position cements your place in history, today's nominee has that distinction. Matilda #10, is Toni McMahon.
Toni was Australia's first goalkeeper in official international football and had the benefit of earning the first of her 10 caps at home, literally 5 miles, as the crow flies, from her home in Bundeena, a scenic village in the Royal National Park south of Sydney on the shores of Port Hacking a short ferry ride from Cronulla.
Toni was one of 3 locals joining Julie Dolan & Jamie Rosman in the squad for the NZ series in 1979, the first 2 matches of which were played at Seymour Shaw Oval, home of the Sutherland State League side.
It is truly an honour to add the name of Toni McMahon to ever growing GFP list.
