Vedran Janjetovic-s hosted the live #SydneyFanChat on Wednesday 5 December after his stellar debut performance against Melbourne Heart; which handed him the honour of becoming the 100th player to play a competitive match for Sydney FC. During the hour we learnt what his favourite Nando-s meal is, who the biggest joker at the club is and which goalkeeper he looked up to as a youngster!
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 (Dec 19) we will be back with another current Sky Blues player!
Here is a transcript of the 42 questions, with Vedran Janjetovic-s answers.
