Katrina Gorry has revealed the family heartbreak behind her celebrations after scoring a penalty in Australia’s shootout win against France 💔
Gorry rocked her arms in a gesture to her daughter Harper, but admitted afterwards that it carried a double meaning.
"My fiance’s dad passed away a couple of nights ago so (the celebration) was for both of them."
“It’s been a tough 48 hours for me.
"My head’s been a bit everywhere but I know that I have full support, not just here, but I know her (fiance Clara Markstedt) family in Sweden too and I just wanted to play for him and make him proud.
“Football’s my happy place, you know, everything just leaves when you get on the field.
"When you have the girls backing you up every step of the way, you have so much belief that we’ll just keep on going."
