The impact of the Matildas historic win last night has reached staggering new heights, it can be confirmed today.
Not only was it a win that was felt by 75,000 fans in the stadium, and more than 3.5 million who tuned in on the tele – but it was a win that caused seismic change many thought was impossible.
That came in the form of an admission from Betoota Heights old boy Graeme Graemeson (67), who revealed he is now a Foord Guy.
Graemson’s huge statement follows decades of following the Holden Racing Team – with the local plumber famously telling his family if he ever became a Ford guy, then they should take him up to the back paddock for a lie down.
For those who don’t follow horoscopes for blokes, Ford v Holden are the famous two sides of local racing here in Australia, supported by hardline fans on either side.
“Look, I never thought I’d see the day,” said Graeme’s daughter, who was in shock after the news broke last night.
The huge conversion comes off the back of Matildas striker Cailtlin Foord’s incredible performance against Denmark, where the pride of the Illawarra seemed to be everywhere over the course of the match.
Following on from a rampaging game against Canada, Foord has now managed to achieve the impossible by bringing old Graeme around to her side.
“Geez, what a game,” sighed a breathless Graeme following the conclusion of last night’s match.
“That Foord, she’s an absolute terrier out there,” he said in regards to the Shellharbour Striker.
“There were some incredible performances all over the park, but she was on another level.”
“Pure hunger.”
“You love to see it.”
More to come.
