Tammie Thornton

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

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.
