Former captain says she’s still team’s biggest cheerleader

Alfeld was the first ever signing for the team five years ago, but for the past three years she's been working for the club with community engagement. The former goalkeeper said she's still the team's biggest cheerleader as they head into the A-League Grand Final on Saturday. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.
