15 years ago today, we played our first ever A-League game against Victory. We were down 0-2 late in the second half until Daniel scored our first professional goal before a certain All Whites legend brought us level and gave us our first ever point.

Here is some highlights of that first game.
And some highlights from in the Fever Zone when the Nix first goal was scored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HeA-GHB3GM

That was a heck of a fun game finish.  Hooked a lot of people I'd say.

It got me. Zero interest in watching football before I attended that game with a mate.

Pretty special day. As a relative newcomer to NZ and being a massive football fan, I got straight into Team Wellington, but when the Nix came in the scene, it was such a massive thing for me.
