So excited. I was relatively new to NZ and football starved. Went to a few TeeDubs game before and had a massive man-crush on Raf (whom I saw in the stands the day of the game).
One day driving home I hear the Nix had signed a "Ferrante" - I thought it was MARCO Ferrante, a fairly decent Italian striker (to be fair Michael and Marco sounds quite similar, especially if you factor in how Kiwis pronounce Marco...).
I was very excited. Got a season pass straight away and hooked my wife to football in the process. Good times!
And that game was pretty awesome - the start of it all really!
