Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque<br />
announces retirement<br />
DECORATED Sydney FC captain<br />
and trump card Alex Brosque (pictured)<br />
will retire from professional<br />
football at the end of this season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 35-year old will<br />
bring down the curtain<br />
on his 18-year career<br />
after the Sky Blues’ final<br />
game of the current<br />
campaign.<br />
“Football and Sydney<br />
FC has allowed me to<br />
have some of the most<br />
incredible experiences<br />
I could ever have imagined,”<br />
Brosque said.<br />
“To have been able<br />
to do something I’ve<br />
loved ever since I was<br />
a young boy, and for<br />
this long, is incredibly<br />
humbling.<br />
“But after 18 years<br />
playing the game, I feel<br />
the time is right now to<br />
retire.”<br />
He said the club and<br />
its members had been<br />
fantastic to him and<br />
the connection he had<br />
with them was something<br />
he would carry<br />
with him forever.<br />
Brosque is Sydney<br />
FC’s most successful<br />
captain with four trophies<br />
and the club’s<br />
all-time leading goalscorer<br />
(82 goals) and<br />
has also made the<br />
most appearances on<br />
the pitch (264).<br />
He has collected<br />
more honours than<br />
anyone who’s played<br />

and robbed an Eastwood money exchange<br />

Sydney FC Chairman<br />
Scott Barlow believes<br />
Brosque’s career record<br />
at Sydney FC will<br />
last for many years.<br />
“Alex Brosque is unquestionably<br />
Sydney<br />
FC’s greatest ever<br />
player,” he said.<br />
“He has given this<br />
club the best part of<br />
his career and along<br />
with it an enormous<br />
amount of success.<br />
“He is a true leader,<br />
the ultimate competitor<br />
and one of the most<br />
genuine people in the<br />
game.”<br />
Sydney FC Head<br />
Coach Steve Corica<br />
praised the effect Brosque<br />
has had on the<br />
club and Sky<br />
Blues’ captain’s<br />
achievements.<br />
“Alex Brosque is a<br />
name synonymous<br />
with Sydney FC and<br />
his list of records are<br />
incredible,” he said.<br />
“As captain he has<br />
led by example and it<br />
is no surprise the enor-<br />

A WEST RYDE man<br />
was arrested and charged<br />
with Indecent Assault last<br />
week.<br />
Police allege the 31 year<br />
old indecently assaulted a<br />
23 year old woman near<br />
Meadowbank Station at<br />
11.57 pm on Friday, <strong>April</strong><br />
5th.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> woman walked up<br />
the stairs onto the footbridge<br />
followed by the<br />
man,” police said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> woman stopped as<br />
she was attempting to put<br />
her shoes on and the man<br />
followed her, with his face<br />
covered with a bandana.<br />
“He then indecently<br />
grabbed the woman.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> woman then<br />
grabbed the man by the<br />
hair, pulling two of his<br />
dreadlocks from his head,<br />
screamed out and another<br />
man came to assist her.”<br />
Officers later found the<br />
man near the site of the<br />
alleged assault but he<br />
was unconcious and was<br />
taken to Concord Hospital<br />
after being treated by<br />
paramedics.<br />
He was later released<br />
from hospital into the custody<br />
of police and was<br />
charged with<br />
Indecent Assault and<br />
Stalking/Intimidation.
