Mark follows Con Blatsis in naming Bulleen Veneto as his GrassRoots club.
Starting at club Veneto in Melbourne's north eastern suburbs as a 5-year old, "Bresc" spent his entire junior career at the club, at first under the guidance of the Catalano brothers Joe & Michael, then later on with ""Big Ollie", Peter Ollerton.
Mark made his debut off the bench against France in the 2001 Confeds Cup in Korea while on the books of Empoli, but had his greatest moment at Homebush on that special night in November 2005. With 84 caps to his name Mark is also one of our most capped players.
