My Take

I have a soft spot for goalkeepers, and Ante Covic earns it. A 192cm Sydney native, he made Australia's squad for the 2006 World Cup in Germany and earned two senior caps. The numbers are modest, but being the last line of defence is a brutally lonely job where one slip erases everything. What I find most appealing is his second act, now managing a women's side in NSW. That move from elite player to coach suggests someone who wants to pass on the hard-won instincts of the position. It's an understated career, and I genuinely root for people like him.
