Manel Esposito: 2 and 1/2 years a City player in the ASB and beyond; only NZ resident player to have played - and ever likely to play - on the same pitch as - let alone in the same team with ... LIONEL MESSI !!!
Adios Manel, and thanks for all your goals.
Sorry to burst your bubble...but your Messi statement is incorrect
I'm quite partial to bubbles. Read the ACFC link above. You think Esposito was telling porkies? And Ramon & Co. just took him at his word?
Partial to bubbles..wouldn't happen to be a West Ham fan would you? Ah ok I see, I'll have a little read. Yeh it is incorrect as I know for a fact a young ex-Auckland, Canterbury and current HBU player has played against the worlds best player in his younger years (same pitch, not same team..so congrats to Manel on that front)
Who would that be?
Im guessing Cole Peverley maybe?
World's best player.... ha ha ha ha
Plays in a 2 team league and has never done anything at a World Cup but thats another topic all together!!
Wow...bit of a harsh comment there Chester. I was just basically stating that Manel is NOT the only NZ based player (and to be fair, Peverley is probably the ONLY NZ national who actually has - someone correct me if not, I won't then have a rant against that player no matter what his ability is) to have played on the same pitch as Messi.
But I suppose you can have a solid opinion as i'm sure you have had a better career than Peverley and all the rest of the players you dislike.
I was talking about Messi being supposed best player in World you muppet!! 2 team league (B*rcelona and Real) never done anything at a World Cup????
Was merely guessing that Peverley was the player you refered too.
