Sydney FC goalkeeper Ivan Necevski was keen to answer as many fan questions as he could as he settled into his fan chat. During the hour we learnt who his celebrity crush was, the best prank he played on ex-teammate Mark Bridge and that he loves it when the Cove chant ‘Crazy Ivan-. Necevski was just one question short of beating Bosschaart-s record of 56 questions during the 60 minutes.
This initiative has become a successful fortnightly engagement for Sky Blue Members and Fans to interact with Sydney FC players, coaches and staff. In two weeks (Sept 26) we will be back with another current Sky Blues player!
Here is a transcript of the 55 questions, with Ivan Necevski-s answers.
