After an exhaustive search, the Telstra Supporteroos recruitment drive has come to an end!
Telstra and Lucas Neill have spent the last four weeks looking to recruit the Telstra Supporteroos to head to Thailand to cheer on the Socceroos. FourFourTwo was enlisted to manage the entry process for the Fanatic section with the final winners chosen yesterday.
The winner of the Fanatic category was 32-year-old Ian Baird from Beecroft in NSW whose multimedia entry secured his spot on the plane to Thailand. As well as showing his commitment to the Green & Gold cause over the years supporting the Socceroos, Ian went the extra yard and proposed to girlfriend Corinne whilst in Germany for the World Cup. They will now be celebrating their honeymoon courtesy of Telstra with a dream trip to Thailand.
Their video can be seen here.
Congratulations to Ian and Corinne on becoming Telstra Supporteroos and we hope you have a fantastic time following the Socceroos in Asia.
The other winners were:
Jack Collins, NSW (The Rookie) - Jack won the Rookie category which was open to all budding Socceroos aged 6 to 17. He created a video clip displaying his skills and posing as some of the Socceroos in the last 10 seconds of the Asian Cup and was judged the best entry. Jack is nine years old and currently plays first division for Brookvale as sweeper. His favourite players are Lucas Neill and Tim Cahill. He will fly back from Thailand in time to trial for the Manly United U-10 skills squad.
John Duffin, SA (The Pro) - John created a mini film showing the many facets and skills required to be a great Socceroo. His entry was judged to show the best skill and flair.
John Hutcheson, NSW (The Expert) - John tested his knowledge of the game and Socceroos history and came through with flying colours, answering all questions correctly and also providing the best response to why he deserved his place as the expert on the team
Sterling McGuire, QLD (The Behind-the-Scenes Supporter) - Sterling was nominated by his wife. He “IS” Nerimbera Soccer Club in North Rockhampton. The club has been part of his life since he first started playing many moons ago. He is now a life member, a coach and groundsman. His children are following in his soccer boot steps, with a daughter in the open women’s team, and his twins in U9. The club celebrates 100 years soon, and Sterling is gathering history for this. He is a great supporter of the Socceroos and football of all levels, including women’s football.
