Ange Postecoglou

Like, daylight savings time in Australia was 9 o'clock at night, it was still day.

You literally had to be dragged in by your mum for dinner at 9 o'clock.

We would be, from the moment we got home at 3 o'clock,

until nine o'clock, six hours of sport outside, whether that was cricket, football, Aussie rules, whatever it was.

And you were competing in the neighbourhood against older kids, younger kids, and that competitive nature.

And I think it's a little bit of that Australian sort of mentality of no fear, you know, we can take anybody on.

That I've definitely had, I feel like I've had inside me along the journey I've been on.

It's mad, mate.

It's crazy.

It's just bizarre.

One of the greatest players in the world ends up in Melbourne somehow.

And I don't know how it happened and why it happened.

And so he ends up coaching us for three years.

And at the time, he didn't speak English.

How old were you at the time, mate?

I was 23.

And he didn't speak a word of English.

But he spoke a little bit of Greek because he'd coached Panathinaikos to a Champions League final at Wembley against Ajax.

So he spoke a bit of Greek.

And I was captain, even though I was young.
