During the hour we learnt which Sky Blues player spends the most time in front of the mirror, Mitch’s fondest footballing memory and if he were to play for an EPL club he would chose Manchester United!
After an early training session Sydney FC-s eager young striker Mitch Mallia hosted the 60 minute live #SydneyFanChat. During the hour we learnt which Sky Blues player spends the most time in front of the mirror, Mitch-s fondest footballing memory and if he were to play for an EPL club he would chose Manchester United! Mitch answered 49 questions during the chat, which was a great effort from yet another Twitter rooky.
This initiative has become a fortnightly engagement for Sky Blue Members and fans to interact with Sydney FC players, coaches and staff. In two weeks, just days before the blockbuster clash against Melbourne Victory, we will be back with another current Sky Blues player!
Here is a transcript of the 49 questions, with Mitch Mallia-s answers.
