Who will be Tuggeranong's next Socceroo?

Carl Valeri may be out, but Canberra born, former Tuggeranong United junior, Nikolai Topor-Stanley is expected to gain his second cap for the Socceroos when he starts against Ghana in Sydney on Friday night.

Great news for Nikolai, great news for Canberra football fans, and Tuggers. Game is live on Fox Friday 8pm.

Then Saturday all you Tuggeranong football player and fans can wander down to your local oval and spot the next Valeri or Topor-Stanley. They both played for the same Tuggers Under 11 side coached by Walter Valeri. Two internationalists from the same Under 11 club team.

Could be a first in Australia. But who will Tuggers produce next?

Best junior Coach in Australia

I hereby nominate Canberra football legend Walter Valeri!

As an Under 11 Coach Walter had his son Carl Valeri and today's Socceroo debutant Nikolai Topor-Stanley in the same Tuggeranong United junior side.

Would there be an Under 11 Coach from anywhere in Australia who could claim such a prize at such a young age? Obviously as players get older, they are drawn or recruited to the "best" team.

And if you are Coaching Under 11's this year...you just never know do you?
