Late upload*
Get up, its another huge game day for Adelaide United, and probably our HUGEST ever interview, as former Adelaide NSL and Wellington Phoenix FC striker, and A-League legend, Shane Smeltz joins us to preview tonight's blockbuster at Coopers Stadium. The All Whites superstar, who scored in the FIFA World Cup 2010 for New Zealand against The Italian national team, discusses how he's viewed both Adelaide and Wellington this season, who he thinks will win tonight, how intimidating he found Coopers Stadium to be in his playing days and more.
The current Gold Coast United FC star also talks about his entire career, including his early football roots in South Australia with Adelaide City FC and North Eastern MetroStars, playing for us in our foundation NSL season and how John Kosmina made the biggest blunder of his managerial career by releasing him, playing in the lower leagues of England for AFC Wimbledon and Mansfield Town Football Club and how this shaped him to be the legendary striker he would end up developing into, memories from playing with Perth Glory, Wellington, Gold Coast and Sydney FC in the A-league, winning the Johnny Warren Medal and Golden Boot awards, how he rates both the All Whites and Socceroos teams today, and much, MUCH more.
