On April 11 2001, Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 in international football's biggest-ever loss. Nicky Salapu tells Sporting Witness how it felt to be the unfortunate goalkeeper.

Nicky explains why his side only had weeks to prepare for their 2002 World Cup qualifiers and ended up with a squad full of teenagers. He also describes how he felt to finally be involved in the country's first win, against Tonga in 2011, which has been the subject of both a documentary and a film in recent years.
