"Cassio, looking for Cristiano...NOW DIEGO!"

A line of commentary from the late and great caller that was Mike Cockerill back in 2008 when Adelaide United shocked the entire Asian continent by dismissing the cashed up club FC Bunyodkor on a night at Coopers Stadium that no one will ever forget.

Diego discusses the club's chances of beating Sydney FC tonight and reminds us of his debut for Adelaide United back in early 2007, coming on as a substitute to replace a certain Carl Veart and thinking he'd scored the winner against the Sky Blues to win an epic encounter in stoppage time, hanging out in Miami with Romário Faria, playing in the Major League Soccer (MLS) with Columbus Crew SC, Kansas City Wizards and REAL SALT LAKE, arriving in Adelaide and instantly falling in love with the City, how shattered he was when Aurelio Vidmar cut him from our squad in 2009, the difficulties he experienced in New Zealand with Wellington Phoenix FC, returning to the USA to live in Phoenix Arizona and whether we might see yet another father-son story unfold for the club as his young son coasts through the junior ranks back here in Adelaide as a prospective future pro.
