Today, I welcome Welling Phoenix AND Melbourne Victory Legend, Marco Rojas.
Marco is a fan favourite of two rival clubs, which isn’t an easy feat. We chart his football journey, where various overseas challenges are interspersed by returning back to the Australian A league.
Having also represented New Zealand at international level over 45 times, Marco has many insights to share about taking the gradual steps and the leap of faith required to make it to the top.
Ok, let's go.
