Bosnich searching for a Socceroo place? What the?
By: Daniel | July 22nd, 2008
You ask for it and I deliver. Okay this Bosnich situation has gotten everyone all choked up. I love the story I really do, I mean it gives me butterflies inside hehe.
Fantastic goalkeeper, played for Man Utd, Chelsea and was touted as the best in the world when he was in his prime. Then it all went downhill from there, Mark tested positive for cocaine and has never hit the field since… until now.
Now after training at QPR, we now find Bozza (36 years old) on a trial at Central Coast Mariners. Seems almost poetic the way its all turned out. The Mariners need a player to cover Danny Vukovic’s suspension and Bozz is ready and willing.
I opened the paper the other day and saw in massive letters “Bosnich aims for the Socceroos”. Thats when all the buterflies left the building! Hes frigin 36 and he hasn’t played a game of football in years! and now just because hes decided that he wants to come back into the game he thinks he can fight his way into the fold for a Socceroo spot. I mean give me a break! Once again hes 38 and just coming back from looking like Jabba the hut from Star Wars! I don’t care how good he was he deserves possibly a guest stint at the mariners and nothing more!
Bozza im sorry but your time has past, although it was unfortunate that Australia missed out on having one of the greatest players in the world reach the heights he could, we have all moved on. It makes me sick how reporters and the such have a hard one about this!
If we let him continue playing in the A-league and (god-forbid) get into the Socceroos what is that saying about this league and the national team?? That we are so crap that we have to revive old has bins to fill spot. Nup this should just stop. Bozza you were great but you screwed it up for yourself and its just too late.

In fairness, goalkeepers often reach their peak in their mid to late 30’s (see Mark Schwartzer, David Seaman, Edwin vd Sar, etc, etc). But I agree with you, Bosnich is not the answer for the Socceroos. However, if that’s his goal (no pun intended), and him being fit and playing at a high level is the result, then so be it. That can only be good for the game in Australia.

Yea thats fair enough, but i hope its not at the expense of young goalkeepers like Vukovic
