Mark Bosnich is Back!

If you’re overweight and bankrupt, then what better solution than a return to professional football? You get lots of exercise, and the money’s pretty damn good. Even in the A-League.

Ex-Villa, Man Utd and Chelsea keeper (and, we might add, ex-cocaine fiend) Mark Bosnich tried the big comeback last season at 35 years old, but his trial with QPR didn’t work out. So now he’s on trial with the Central Coast Mariners, and judging by his performance in pre-season (above) he stands a good chance of earning a contract (though I’ll bet his mum will still be able to pinch those chubby cheeks.)


And Bosnich stands an even better chance of seeing some first team action, because good as regular CCM number one Danny Vukovic is, he’ll be suspended for early A-League rounds after his infamous high five attack on a ref.

    I believe he also starred in a sex tape while fiending on cocaine. Damn. Good luck to the dude.

    The fella’s going alright at the moment, isn’t he? He’s been instrumental to a number of the Mariners’ successes and he’ll surely be missed when he relocates to America.

    Shows you that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
