WHAT happened between me and Craig Foster? That is the question everyone has been asking this past week. Let's just say we have a history.
Even though we played together, we were never really close. We are different people, and that's fine because it takes all types to make up a team.
Still, a situation occurred with the Socceroos way back in 1997 that meant we would never see eye to eye on football matters - and especially that green and gold shirt which remains so close to my heart.
Foster and I were on opposite sides of a pay dispute that threatened to split the Australian team in half during the Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia. Wounds from that campaign remain raw.
