Some Golden Soft Sombrero Moments with Michael Garcia Garcia on childbirth motivation… Diegos: " In the aftermath of a huge event in your life, the birth of your daughter, Mia, you scored the goal that sealed Glory's 3-0 win at home against Carlton. The goal was a result of a inspirational run and strike by you. Do you credit your wife, who reportedly went well and truly into injury time when giving birth, as the motivation behind the goal?" Garcia: "I'd have to say yes. It was a very special moment for me. The crowd reaction was fantastic, but having seen what my wife had to go through, performing that move was a piece of cake." Diegos: "How do you think your daughter is going to cope with the middle name, 'Jonesy, Danny, Gareth, Con, Vas, Bobby, Danny, Gavin, Nick, Chicken Treat, Diego' Garcia when she grows up, and was it true that your wife rejected your first suggestion of a Christian name, Ronaldo?" Garcia: " Unfortunately she didn't go with having the names of the whole Perth Glory squad on the birth certificate, even though l really tried hard to convince her. She struck the 'Ronaldo' option of the list to because he's bald, and that's something Mia won't be for the whole of her life." Soft Sombrero Moment 1999
Diegos: " You crossed over from Canberra Cosmos to Perth Glory this season. Some liken the move to going from hairy anchovies to top shelf caviar. Other than the obvious crowd size difference, what are the contrasting features of both clubs?" Garcia: "The training, the full time professionalism, organization of the board and efficient administration are the major differences. On the playing side of things, there is greater competition for places in the squad and the intensity on the park is far greater." Soft Sombrero Moment 1999 |
