The club Ned has nominated is Canberra Deakin which is in the shadows of parliament house in Canberra, literally. Ned began at Deakin Oval, as it was back in the early 80's, as a 10-yr old where his talent shone early. He was a star at the AIS, came to Sydney to Sydney Croatia but it wasn't until returning to Croatia-Deakin (the senior club) and coming under the tutelage of former Matilda's coach Tom Sermani that he really shone.
Ned made his Socceroos debut alongside Paul Okon, Tony Vidmar & David Lowe against Czechoslovakia in 1991 after, in his words, "blitzing it" with the Olyroos.
