Ricki was a big of our time in the football sun- Kiwi coach, pro-Kiwi team, pro-Kiwi players and getting to the World Cup.
He's had plenty of critics and doubters, and though there's a part of me that enjoys the biff, it doesn't make me happy to see two of my Kiwi football heroes throwing stones.
We're still waiting for a post-Ricki Kiwi coach to pop his/her head up- they certainly haven't for the AWs or the A-league and Nelsen was a bust at Toronto.
