Matildas legend Lydia Williams retires to a ‘fitting’ standing ovation

The Australian Associate Editor Jenna Clarke discusses the emotional farewell of Matildas legend Lydia Williams, who retired to a standing ovation in Sydney on Monday night while playing a friendly match against China. “Lydia Williams, who is our outgoing goalie, she has been to the World Cup five times and the Asia Cup six times, just the girl from Kalgoorlie,” Ms Clarke told Sky News host Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “She has decided to hang up the gloves, and she had a fitting standing ovation.”
