Sydney FC youngster Peter Triantis debuted for the Sky Blues against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday 22 December and today he hosted the live #SydneyFanChat. During the hour we learnt the funniest prank from the National Youth League change rooms, what pizza best describes Peter-s personality and where he would take a lady on a first date.
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 (Jan 16) we will be back with another current Sky Blues player!
Here is a transcript of the 45 questions, with Peter Triantis-s answers.
