Thwaitey's football journey took off when he moved from Cairns to Sydney as a teenager in 2002 for University. Fittingly his last 'competitive' match was leading his beloved Queensland on to Perry Park in the NPL State of Origin match late 2020, a proud moment, one of many. In between times, across those 18 years, some blood, plenty of sweat and a few tears shed in an impressive playing career that criss-crossed the globe and country. Michael competed with distinction in the NSL, overseas, in the A-League, for our National teams and in the NPL. His commitment and dedication to the game and his professionalism and approach have always been exemplary.
