Alicia Ferguson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 31, 1981 in Brisbane, Australia. Alicia Ann “Eesh” Ferguson (born 31 October 1981) is an Australian soccer player who represented the Australia women’s national soccer team at the 1999 and 2007 editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Ferguson debuted for Australia at the age of 15 years during the Matildas’ European tour in August 1997. Initially she played as a forward and scored four times in Australia’s 1998 OFC Women’s Championship victory. After a period of injury she subsequently became one of Australia’s most solid midfielders. At club level Ferguson enjoyed success with Queensland Sting in the Women’s National Soccer League and Brisbane Roar in the W-League. In 2012–13 she played for Millwall Lionesses of the English FA Women’s Premier League.
Ferguson dropped out of the national team in 2002 after a knee reconstruction operation. She missed the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2004 Athens Olympics. In 2005 incoming coach Tom Sermanni recalled Ferguson, who had changed from a forward into a defensive midfielder. She made an important late goal line clearance as Australia held the United States to a 0–0 draw in October 2005.
During the 2006 AFC Women’s Asian Cup Ferguson stood in as captain of the Matildas. Her goal in a 5–0 win over Thailand resulted in a celebratory jig. Australia lost the final to China in a penalty shootout, despite Ferguson converting her kick. Second place secured qualification for the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
After being named in the squad, Ferguson said that the 2007 team were better and more experienced than the team she had played in at the 1999 tournament. She hoped to emulate the male Australia team, who had reached the knockout stage of their 2006 World Cup. She also hoped that success in the tournament would lead to the reformation of a national domestic league. Ferguson featured in all three group games, but did not take part in the 3–2 quarter-final defeat to Brazil.
Twelve members of the Matildas controversially posed for a nude calendar in October 1999. At 17, Ferguson was the youngest participant. She remained happy with the final product and the original photograph was framed and proudly displayed at her parents’ home in Brisbane. Ferguson was selected to take part in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and was proud to walk out at the opening ceremony in her home country.
