+x+xone of the 'under-rated' Socceroos from the golden Generation i wish him well it is a bit sad he never got involved with the game since he hanged up the boots but i guess a bit like Viduka he is happy to have the family life and live life away from the game Under rated? Bresch is a god. I don't know anyone who wouldn't agree.
Totally agree, probably our most talented after dukes and harry, yet hasn't ever received anywhere near the same level of attention.
