Strong Socceroos side, full of EPL and other European players. Missing only Viduka, Kewell, Grella, and Culina from their very good 2006 WC side.

Who was Michael Wilson?

Whatever happened to Webster? Had a short A League stint at Perth Glory.

Michael Wilson is the son of Ole Academy founder Dave and currently runs Ole. The other son, Matt was also a pretty good player.

Mike played for Western Suburbs and Team Wellington. Not sure if he ever did anything of note overseas.

Was a pretty decent player IMO. Played at DM or LB

Webster's wiki page is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Webster_(foot...

He had a pretty darn cool on field fist fight with Jamie Harnwell and didn't last much longer at Glory

Yes Nelfoos he's a proud Nelsonian.

But as I stated above he played for Canterbury United - so the ChCh locals would of course been interested, in seeing him turning out for the AWs. 

I watched him run around English Park a few times 2005-2006, in a red shirt with those flowing dreadlocks.

Playing for a club in a different city doesn't mean you're from that city.

Of course not. But if he is playing for your local national Prem side, and then he is playing for the AWs (who rarely play in ChCh) you are more likely to have an interest in him as a local player than some of his international team mates. 

Brockie got his first go at National League football in Christchurch. Call him an “adopted Cantab” but certainly a Nelson product.

Shinpads only became compulsary in the 90s, wasn't uncommon for players to not play with any before that

Morning all - was given this footage of a WC qualifier in 1988 by a former player.  Quality is a bit ropey as it is essentially a home recording (the match was never broadcast) but still a couple of quality goals from top players of the past...

and here are a couple of clips from early 2007 - a two match tour to Central and South America by a squad with the bulk of its players in the off-season, playing in testing local conditions against better quality opponents and passionate local fans.  What could possibly go wrong?  let's just say neither of these are particularly pleasant viewing...

Morning all - a clip from 2009 when we played world champions Italy in the buildup to Confeds in South Africa.  Ended up being pretty surreal for a while! Enjoy the memories :)

(please note I can't post any footage from Confeds itself as my channel gets copyright smashed by FIFA, sorry)

Didn't we play Botswana or Tanzania (or both?) on that trip as well? Any footage of that?

Amazing that we had a decent scoreline against Italy, and then produced possibly our worst ever FIFA tournament. Yes, we got a draw but celebrated it like we just won Lotto (embarrassing), didn't even have a shot against South Africa, and Spain didn't get out of second gear and demolished us.

Aye we lost 2-1 to Tanzania and drew 0-0 with Botswana

would be very surprised if there was any footage especially of the Botswana game, apparently the BFA didn't believe NZ would actually turn up so hadn't bothered to allocate a stadium for the game or a training pitch for NZ. They went into panic mode when they found out NZ was arriving. Think NZ may have actually gone back to South Africa to train before playing the game!

Highly likely. Gaborone the capital is only 15 km from the South African border.

Brockie nutmegs Pirlo. Beat that will be a photo one day in his pool room.

I assume there is no footage of the 0-0 game with Australia at QE2 in 95? 

My first All Whites game. I was quite young but I remember it was raining, the game was rubbish, and someone kept abusing Chris Jackson for being rubbish nearly the entire 90 mins.
