Growing up in a working class family in Nottingham,UK, Sandra’s dad recognised his daughter’s indisputable talent for playing soccer, and decided to relocate his family to Perth, WA to champion her rise in the game. At just 15 Sandra made it into the State team and by 17 she was flying the flag for Australia and playing for the Matildas.
She shot to fame when she scored Australia’s first international goal during her debut against New Zealand in 1979 and Australia’s first international hat-trick in 1980.
