Best AIS players haven't done as well as expected..yet!

Perth Glory's David Tarka a player on the rise?

Speaking to Steve O'Connor recently who has spent 17 years at the AIS as Assistant and now as Head Coach.

We discussed all things AIS, see earlier post under Steve O'Connor label.

"Steve who was the player you thought most likely to succeed at the top level, or who you thought would kick on to play Serie A or EPl but hasn't."

O'Connor replied, "You get a lot of quality through here, but so many things can interfere in a players development. Injuries and just bad luck etc. The two players who I thought would have gone higher, David Tarka now at Perth Glory. He's only really getting going again after injuries. So he may well go to a higher level and Wayne (John ) Srhoj, now playing in Romania I think."
