Neil and Cheryl share some potentially unpopular opinions, Eric takes a road trip to Canberra, Dale looks after things in Sydney and Maj might just be a little unhappy that Lynn Williams has signed with Victory in time for both of their clashes against Brisbane. The crew also name 13 Queens / Kings of the Week!
History: Claire Nichols, Matildas Cap 73
Claire Nichols is a goalkeeper and made her ‘A’ international debut in 1994. She is the youngest person to play senior football for Australia (woman or man) – her first game for the Matildas was in 1989 when she was just 14 years and 160 days old (this game was not an ‘A’ international).
Nichols went on to play 30 games for the Matildas (19 ‘A’ internationals).
