Sally Shipard is from Albury. Only moved to Canberra last year

After all Russell Crowe, born in NZ, is claimed by Australia!
Lindsay Wilson, Formerly with Tuggeranong in the ACT PL is now signed with PSV in Holland. A possible move to Dundee in Scotland is on the cards.
Thanks, I'd forgotten Lindsay!
Who did he play with in the season just gone?
Lindsay has been at PSV for a while now...he has been getting loaned out for the past few years.
I knew he was at PSV but haven't been able to find who he played with in the season just gone..back at PSV or stayed at Kilmarnock?Struggling to find info on websites, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be great.
