Matildas Debut: 1995
Grassroots Club: Cronulla RSL
Appearances: 3 (2 A Internationals)
Incredible down to earth person who was really creative and strong on the ball. Really strong on both feet which was fairly rare back then other than in the best players and very strong in the air.
Very strong physically. She used to surf all the time then go out for a kick. Usually played out wide. Nice kid!

Queens of the Week
Eric – Katie Zelem for scoring TWO OLIMPICOS (goals scored direct from corner kicks) in Manchester United’s 4-0 win over Leicester City, a week after she scored an Olimpico at the same end of Leigh Sports Village in their FA Cup tie against Manchester City
Not one, but TWO goals directly from the corner 😲
We love an olimpico. And Manchester United’s Katie Zelem managed two in the one game!
