“It’s hard for me to be unbiased. This is a story I haven’t told very many people,” she said.
“All I ever wanted to do was play football, and that was taken away from me for two years, and so, I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. But when I recovered from having my son and knee surgery as well, I got a second chance at playing football again, and this country gave that to me, playing in the W-League for Melbourne Victory.”
