Nice to see him having quality game time between season.
Slightly worried by him missing two O-League games.
Good luck to him.

I wonder how long Vicelich plans on playing for NZ.

Considering he retired from the All Whites in 2008 and originally came back for just the Confeds Cup I would have thought that it would make sense for him to retire on a high now. Perhaps he wants to play once more in NZ to thank fans.Oska2010-07-27 17:46:32

I just heard on the Rock as I was driving home from work (in the UK) that Ivan is being honoured in the New Years honours lists.  Well done 'ol boy.
