Ross Nicholson (born 8 August 1975 in Gisborne, New Zealand) is an association football goalkeeper who represented New Zealand at international level.
International career
Nicholson made his full All Whites debut as a substitute in an 8–1 win over Vanuatu at the Oceania Nations Cup in Australia on 28 September 1998.[1] He was included in the New Zealand squad for the 1999 Confederations Cup finals tournament in Mexico where he was an unused substitute,[2] and was first choice goalkeeper for Auckland City FC at the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.[3]
Nicholson ended his international playing career with 14 A-international caps to his credit,[4] his final cap being in a 0–0 draw with Estonia on 31 May 2006.[1] He went on to play for Youngheart Manawatu after a successful run at Auckland City FC, then later on paying for Albany United and Glenfield Rovers in the lower divisions in Auckland. Rated as one of the best Goalkeepers in New Zealand, known for his all round game, but shot stopping and commanding of his area were stand outs. Coach Alan Jones saying that he's, "big, strong and un-conpermising", best keeper he's had play for him. Walked away from football due to unattainable circumstances within the sport.
