Tammie Thornton

Tammie Thornton (born 5 January 1976) is an Australian former soccer player who played for Australia 19 times in 1996 and 1997.[1]

Thornton, now 47, was one of 388 players who participated in Australia’s first ever national women’s football league.

While not the longest-serving or the most famous player, she was part of a largely forgotten generation of footballers who dug the well for today’s Matildas and A-League Women.[2][3]
