Matildas superstar Mary Fowler applauded for beautiful act: ‘Hail Queen Mary’

Mary Fowler’s reputation as the darling of Australian football continues to grow ...

and grow. The Matildas superstar is in WA to play in next week’s Perth International Football Cup for Manchester City, and the much-loved 21-year-old has again endeared herself to the people when she was spotted lending a helping hand to a baby turtle. Fowler and her City teammates were taking a walk around the Burswood’s Crown precinct in Perth on Thursday.

Fowler gently lifted it into her hand and guided it back towards the Swan River for safety. “Mary Fowler doing her bit for the local nature 🤗,” the club trumpeted on Instagram with a photo of Fowler in action.

While Fowler’s teammate Kerstin Casparij seemingly gave the turtle a name: “Shout out to Alfred,” she said. The caring act naturally delighted fans as well. “Hail Queen Mary! Saviour of the Aussie wildlife.

🙌🙌🙌,” one fan said. “Crocodile Fowler,” another said, referencing the famous Paul Hogan movie Crocodile Dundee. “Moree !!!! We need video admin 🔥🔥,” another fan demanded.

While another said: “She’s at home 😍.” The gesture follows another kind and caring act — with a much bigger creature — just seven days ago. Only last week Fowler was spotted with her boyfriend Nathan Cleary , as the Penrith champion went to get scans on his injured shoulder.

Cleary had loo.
