professional football

Blake Thompson professional footballer with FC Dordrecht an AFA Alumnus, paid the lads and coaching staff a visit when he returned to the Gold Coast for Christmas.

Blake took the lads through some drills, ran some competitions where FC Dordrecht kits were up for grabs. After the competitions, they got to ask Blake some questions, watch the recording to hear what were the questions at the forefront of the boys mind... Did I hear a FIFA question?
