Can someone fill me in on how good was he back in his prime?
I was at the Peru game and that was kind of my introduction to football in NZ but the fanatacism didn't truly take hold until a couple of years afterwards, but I remember his close attempts to make something happen during that match. Obviously nine or ten years ago we didnt have this wealth of players with decent contracts overseas so it must have been pretty novel. But I'm curious to how well beyond "Oh he's mean for a kiwi." it went. Back in the mid 2010's was the sky the limit and is he a case for NZ's biggest wasted talent? 

Having never seen the guy play for more than one or two games I'm truly intrigued by the calls of, if he's fit he has to be there. Especially considering we probably have one of our most competitively stacked midfields of a long while.  He must have been an absolute  beast, and I'm terrified Sarpreet's career is teeing up to deflate in the same way.
