BC Place, British Columbia's biggest stadium, played farewell host to one of the most influential female athletes of all time on Tuesday. For one night, the venue became "Christine Sinclair Place". Born in Burnaby, British Columbia, Christine Sinclair played international soccer for more than two decades, and the 40-year-old turned up one last time for the Canada women's national team in a friendly against Australia. Quinn scored the only goal of the match to give Canada a deserved win, but the night belonged to ever-green captain, Sinclair. She retired with 190 goals (the most for men or women) in 331 international appearances (second only to Kristine Lilly - 354).
