Wiseman won 60 caps for England. After a period as understudy to England's original goalkeeper Sue Buckett, Wiseman made her debut on 23 July 1979, in a 20 win over Switzerland held in Sorrento, Italy during an unofficial European Championship. Ten years later she made her 50th appearance [1] in a 20 home friendly defeat to Sweden. The match was held at Wembley Stadium to mark the 20th anniversary of the Women's Football Association (WFA), played as a curtainraiser to the male national team's Rous Cup game against Chile. She had played in the penalty shootout defeat to Sweden in the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football final. [2] At club level she played for Tottenham Hotspur's women's section and represented Friends of Fulham in the WFA Cup final. Wiseman won the WFA Cup in 1984 with Howbury Grange.

People should remember and respect there was a game before 1993, that pioneers built the foundations and paved the way for what is happening now. There were so many talented players, like [Terry] Wiseman (England and Fulham goalkeeper). She was a mentor to me, I learnt so much off her.

In November 2022, Wiseman was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 45th women's player to be capped by England. [4] [5]

Post-football career

In her other career as an animator Wiseman worked on The Snowman and later moved to Los Angeles County to work for DisneyToon Studios, recently working as a timing director on Phineas and Ferb. She trained at Hornsey College of Art. [6]
