Born in Sydney, Australia in 1950, King has had one of the most distinguished careers in Australian squash history (as a player, as a coach and as an administrator). Sue King became the first captain of the first Women’s World Teams Championship in 1979. The team featured Hall of Fame inductee Barbara Wall, Rhonda Thorne, Vicky Cardwell and Anne Smith.
