the face of the a-league, captain of the queensland roar etc

 

[mariners4ever]

Please edit title...gibson was never mighty

even if he wasn't mighty, it still is a big drop from being captain in season 1 to playing for the cove 4 seasons later

Speaking of former A-League players, Sydney United are trying to recapture their past with Ante Milicic and David Zdrilic now back playing there. Milicic is player-coach, while Zdrilic has done work for Fox Sports and ESPN in the past year.

Zdrillic works in a pizza shop according to various sources

 

[David Votoupal]

You'd argue that Milicic was the better player of the two, he continued to do well in the NSL and scored a fair few for the Jets in V1.

I remember discussing the NSL at the time when Sydney United were top of the league (not that I followed a team, just was well aware of the league) with a mate, and asked him what he thought of Zdrilic. He thought that Zdrilic happened to be "in the right team at the right time"- which fate was to prove.

So what hapopened to cause his drop from Captain of the Roar in v1, to playing in a local comp now?

Oh I dunno, but I'll take a stab at this....

a) lack of ability at the top level.
b) lack of leadership ability
c) some injuries or two
d) believing Miron Bleiberg.

e) all of the above?

After we drew with Sydney in Sydney last season, I saw one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Truly breathtaking. After she had passed and I was roused from my stunned state I was informed that she was with none other than Chad Gibson. He is one lucky man.
