Devon Bonne
Devon Bonne previously of Parramatta Eagles has a unique reputation for scoring magical goals, made his mark when he went to trial with Bolton Wanderers, where he trialled with the like of JJ Okocha and Nakata, unfortunetly for Devon his trial successes meant little when he was denied access to a EU passport whilst trialling, without any european background Devon struggles to fight for a place in the harsh reality that is Australian soccer, unable to fully unleash his scoring prowess, Devon waits for the day that the typical Australian mentality in terms of Size and bulk in the forward pairings will be replaced by the technically gifted, touted by many foreign coaches as the next Thierry Henry, his game is almost mirrowed to that of his idol, the dream will one day become a reality, a good coach just needs to let him realise his potential.
