'Celebrity' Appearances as Australian Soccer Games

Not Only is Eric Cantona going to play for Melbourne Knights... there are reports (HERE) that Wimbeldon Champion Goran Ivanisevic may play for the Melbourne Club.

Is this just an attempted publicity stunt? Considering that Cantona will be paid an estimated AU$50,000 (about US$25,000) for the Melbourne Derby at Colonial Stadium and he is only playing for (maybe) 2 weeks

its to promote soccer in Australia , seeing as we just lost to uruguay everything went quiet on the soccer scene , this is an attempt to revive it

Are they trying to promote the game to people who are already soccer fans or to the non-soccer fans? cos the non-soccer fans will probably have no idea who Cantona is :rolleyes:

Well I never have really been to an NSL match, tried following it as much as I can but its just not the same thing as EPL, Serie A etc...

But me and my mates are going to see Cantona, it should be good, It does good for the promotion of the NSL in Australia, in the past couple of days i've seen alot about how Cantona's going to Melb Knights...

It should be good.

It is now being reported that he wants AU$195,000 for the game!

WHAT A JOKE... Considering that there isn't that much money in Australian Soccer!!!

Let me make 2 points...

1. I can't think of many players within Australia who get paid that much a year

2. I have no idea where Melbourne Knights will get $195,000 from (or $50,000 for that matter!) THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT THEY WILL GET A CROWD OF 30,000! because there just isn't that kind of support for Soccer in this country... IF we had made it to the World Cup... it would be a different story!

that's why i don't support his appearance!
