Paul Ifill has been a revelation during the A-League season, proving to be an inspirational figure for Wellington Phoenix as they reached the finals for the first time.

Ifill, signed from English Championship club Crystal Palace, has given the Phoenix "that X-factor", Fox Sports football commentator Paul Trimboli said when previewing round one of the finals series.

"He's got that ability to link out of midfield, to create, and to score, and he's a real personality player. He says "give me the ball and I'll make something happen", and everybody jumps onboard that."

Ifill appears on Fox Sports FC, live on Fox Sports 1HD and Fox Sports 1 from 8.30pm (EDT) on Tuesday, February 23, when he will tell the panel about his season and about his expectations for the remainder of the finals campaign.

The Fox Sports FC panel will also be joined by former Socceroos goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac, who has recently returned home for good to Australia.

Kalac has enjoyed a successful career since first leaving Australia, winning 54 caps for Australia while playing for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Netherlands and Serie A clubs Perugia and AC Milan in Italy.

He will tell the panel about his career, and why he has chosen this time to return home.

The panel will also preview the Asian Champions League in which A-League clubs Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United do battle for Australia.

Victory coach Ernie Merrick, fresh from his side's victory in the first leg of the A-League major semi-final against Sydney FC, will be on the phone live from Beijing as Melbourne conclude their warm-up for their first Asian Champions League fixture of the campaign against Beijing Guoan, for whom former Newcastle Jets striker Joel Griffiths is a player known well to Australian football fans.

Adelaide United, meanwhile, open their campaign against defending Asian Champions League champions Pohang Steelers in Adelaide on Wednesday, February 23.

Simon Hill, Robbie Slater and Mark Slater will conclude the show by looking forward to the weekend's fixtures in England - highlighted by the Carling Cup final between Manchester United and Aston Villa at Wembley.

Not the best of shows to sit in front of a computer for 90 minutes for, but surely the clip wil be on YouTube in the next 24 hours???

Never used p2p, so I couldn't tell you.

A-league stuff works for me.  Pretty sure Euro stuff doesn't.

Fox sports FC isn't that bad. May just stick with that.

Can't wait to see how Bozza and Ifill get along.

Yep, was on at the start for a good 15-20 mins
 
Good interview - he comes across very well whenever he does any media
 
Was funny when Ricki said that if you just saw him train you wouldn't pick him
