They come not because of Ricky or the chance to play in the A league they come because.........

Ã¯Â¿Â½Wellington is a much smaller place than Melbourne, it's really compact and I know it sounds corny, but it's a loving city,Ã¯Â¿Â½

From Ferrante interview on Au.fourfourtwo.com, destined to become one of the great football quotes.

I feel a group hug and a round of positive affirmations should be part of YFÃ¯Â¿Â½s build up for Friday night

I reckon footballers can play hard without having to act like 'hard men' all the time. As long as ferrante does the business on the pitch, he can be as 'new age' as he likes off it.

If we can attract quality players by the type of town we are that's great (and pretty much the opposite of Hull - sadly!).

Hell, if someone wants to come here because the have always wanted to ride to work on a cable car that fine by me too.

Good on the lad, for - like you say - a quote that's a bit different from the usual "interview by numbers" answers we often hear.

What are you saying about Hull

. It has its lovely side too. Im just not sure where. Possibly under all the grime and scum thats covers the place. We do have KC Stadium though. Harry Ngata went there and Nicky Barnby plays there now. So it can't be that bad.

Its no longer a problem.

Aye fair enough, just that the footymad board has persuaded me that the Tigers are missing out on players who'd rather play elsewhere - hell i still dream of playing for them and I'm not barmy

(or Barmby)

Maybe Ferrante would put in a good work for the City of Hull!!

LOL, I trained with them for a month once. I was playing for North Ferriby who are a feeder club and 5 of us got invited to preseason training. Boothferry Park. What a dump that was in its latter days. I left England cause I got home sick. Being in Hull probably didn't help

Its no longer a problem.

Impressive mate. I'm jealous, but then sounds like you could play a bit - which might have helped in my case

All thing being equal to the UK and Europe, eg playing standard and money, I think NZ would be the choice for most players.

Its no longer a problem.

that will be in the top quotes of the season...

Someone email the Welly City Council with that, it could be the new advertising campaign "come to Wellington, its a loving City...an Aussie said so..."
