    History: Amanda Paterson, Matildas Cap 81

    Paterson played five matches (2 A internationals) for the Matildas between 1994 and 1997.

    Former Matildas Team Manager, B90 co-founder and expert friend of the pod Sarah Groube had this to stay about Paterson:

    "Paddo! What a legend. Tough era for a goal keeper. Outstanding junior and youth player. Up against the might of Tracey Wheeler to try to earn a cap. Other notable keepers of that era were Claire Nichols and Sara King. Paddo was probably one of the first Australian players to try her fortunes in the US College system, playing for the University of Hawaii and worked her way up to an Assistant Athletic Director role. Without the benefit of great internet and ease of video communications and a decent national team budget, it was difficult for overseas based players to become regulars in the national team. She was a terrific player for NSW and Marconi (I went to Italy with her on a Marconi tour - so many awesome players (not me haha).

    "She was a good field player too, and would sometimes chance her luck on ‘keeper runs up the field with ball at feet. In a time where everyone wore black Copa Mundials, Paddo was one of the first to sport blue boots in Australia - purchased while on Marconi’s tour of Italy in ‘97. She would be an absolute rockstar of the game today."

    History: Bridgette Starr, Matildas Cap 80


    Starr was a defender who made her Matildas debut in 1994, playing 53 A internationals (1 goal) and 6 Non-A internationals.

    She was the first indigenous footballer to represent Australia at a World Cup (1999) and at the Olympic Games (2000). Starr is also a member of the Aboriginal and Islander Sports Hall of Fame.

    Former Matildas Team Manager, B90 co-founder and expert friend of the pod Sarah Groube had this to stay about Starr:

    "Legend! Bridgette was one of the many strong left footers of that era, playing mainly in the backline and strongly pushing up the field. As a Novocastrian she had a strong playing relationship with Cheryl Salisbury. Bridgette went on to play AFL where she was outstanding with ACT and was selected to a number of all-star teams. She’s now an extraordinarily fit cross-fitter. Her Mum Wendy was one of the many brilliant Matilda mums who set a strong legacy of parental support which continues today, travelling to tournaments where she could."

    • Cheryl - hard to go past Sam Kerr after she became Australia's all-time leading scorer, but as a long time Aivi Luik supporter, definitely have to give her a shoutout for scoring her first Matildas goal.
    • Eric - 1) Atlético Madrid's Virginia Torrecilla played her first game in nearly two years after recovering from a brain tumour and chemotherapy 2) Aoife Colvill set up the first goal in Glasgow City's 4-0 win over Spartans
    • Maj - Erin Cuthbert, for calling out a ridiculous and inappropriate newspaper headline after Chelsea's WSL Cup win over West Ham
    • Dale - 1) the AFC media person who managed to fit all 18 of Australia's goals against Indonesia into a three minute highlights package 2) Iranian goalkeeper Zohreh Koudaei for an outstanding save against India, it's a shame that game was voided due to India's exclusion from the tournament
