Vicki Wilson on the web


On my goodness, didn't realise my IDOL Vicki Wilson's name actually listed in Wikipedia, the free encylopedia.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vicki Wilson (born 11 February 1965) is an Australian netballer, renowned as the world's leading goal shooter. She became captain of the Australian Netball team in 1996, captaining the Australian team in the 1998 Commonwealth Games. She is currently the coach of the Queensland Firebirds.

Wilson became captain of the Australian netball team in 1996, while on the comeback trail from a knee injury sustained at the 1995 World championships. In 1998 she led the Australian team to the first ever netball gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, and in 1999 she retired on a winning note, after leading Australia to a one-point win in the world championship final.

Wilson was a part of the Australian netball team for fifteen years, where her sublime shooting abilities saw her revered as the best netballer in the world.

In 2000, a portrait of her was hung in the Archibald Prize by painter Nic Fern.
