Sarah Walsh made 70 appearances for the green and gold from 2004 to 2012, scoring an incredible 31 goals. A healthy dividend for the fleet-footed striker. Walsh was a member of the New South Wales Institute of Sport in 2008, signing as a foundation player for Sydney Football Club's W-League campaign during the same year. She scored in the 2009 Grand Final, helping Sydney FC to the inaugural championship.
Stints in the United States with Sky Blue FC and Saint Louis Athletica in 2009 only strengthened her performances for the Matildas. Walsh represented Australia at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, 2006 AFC Women's Asian Cup and the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup before retiring from professional football in 2012, largely due to ongoing knee injuries.
Since her retirement, Walsh has worked to promote women's football in Australia and abroad with the same intensity and passion she showed on the field, taking up roles in public speaking, media (television and radio), and working with Professional Footballers Australia.
In 2012, Walsh commenced employment with the game's governing body, Football Federation Australia, in various development and participation roles. In 2018, she was promoted to General Manager (Participation).
This design celebrates one of the greatest Australian strikers to have played the game. With her free-flowing hair and iconic headband, Walshy as she was known, will be remembered as a key contributor to the Matildas' mantra, Never Say Die. Included on the back is her favourite number nine.
