I remember both Rufers when they played for FC Zurich in short being told that they couldn’t play for the All Whites. That was the club where Shane played the most in Switzerland.
He was a solid defenderNapier Phoenix
He was over in Switzerland with Wynton I think and in those days there were probably only those 2 in Europe and logistically it was harder to see them play and to come home for games etc. Of course Wynton went then to Bremen where he couldn’t of hidden if he wanted to. I remember Shane seeing Shane playing for NZ and I recall him as being very solid.Marto
Off topic a bit but does anyone here know why Shane Rufer played so little for NZ?
Obviously not as good as his brother or son but was a pro when NZ struggled to make them so surely he should have played more then 11 games over 13 years.
