One of Australias greatest players? Absolutely not... I dont think he makes top 20 in Marconi's greatest ever players.

Yeah probably a little he was decent player... just not someone I would classify as "the greatest" Probably a personal vendetta more than anything, a girl I was keen on in high school had his poster in her locker. hahahahahahah

Okon would be the best midfielder in this current team.

The real question is was her love for Paul Okon greater than your love for Paul Trimboli?

Okon never really hit the heights of his talents (mostly because of injury) for Australia. Even if we said one of Australia's greatest midfielders there is plenty of competition especially for the national team.
Jedinak, Mooy, Bresciano, Cahill, Warren, Rogic, Wade, Zelic, Milligan, Grella and Culina.Thes players all had something whether it was grit, temp or goals or a combination of all when playing for the national team.
I rate Okon similar to Bosnich, probably one of, if not the most talented players in his position, just behind others in terms of delivery for the national team.
Injury curtailed his best, but his international peak was at the 1992 Olympics

Unfortunately the best ability is availability
if you take injury into account robbie kruse is a better winger than bresciano and emerton

Money speaks. But often lies. A 250 K euros guy like Yengi could have a huge impact at this tournament.

Yep, right place, right time often beats talent, money and a whole lot else. Certainly the set up is for him to have an impact, whether he takes the opportunity, we shall see very shortly.

Absolutely. He was so good to watch. Cool, stylish control of midfield. Good vision, good on the ball, accurate passing. And we had Ned Zelic who'd also be the 26, but Okon and Zelic didn't complement each other on the field. Okon only got 26 caps, mainly due to injuries.
