Tuggeranong Junior in Olyroos squad
Nikolai Topor-Stanley started football down in the Tuggernaong Valley, Canberra. As a five year old he signed up for Tuggeranong Juniors.
He has two vital games coming up. An important member of the Olyroos squad he will play against Iran in a must win game in Adelaide on Wednesday.
The following Wednesday May 23 he will start for Sydney FC in their do-or-die clash with Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan.
It's a game Sydney must win to go through to the knockout stage of the Asian Champions League.
The game is a sell-out. 65,000 crazy Urawa fans will pack into the stadium in Saitama.
Topor-Stanley will have night to remember whatever the score.
Not bad for a boy from Tuggeranong Juniors.

It's great to see kids play the game, love the game, and develop their skills to the level that Nikolai Topor-Stanley has done so far in his football career. He's an inspiration for other young players committed to playing the World Game. "Nice boy, good player!"

agreed, I don't know Nikolai but interviewed him recently and he cam across as a decent bloke and every I spoke to speak very highly of him. Its interesting watching a boy form Canberra making his way in the game.
Who knows where he might finish up in a couple of years. He's certainly smart enough to succeed.
