Four Diegos

Many people debate whether great players from other eras could emulate their great feats in today's game. One player who pundits and fans alike all universally agree could be an international star of this era is Argentine-born, former Socceroo Oscar Crino. Technically gifted with a streak of mongrel, Crino was a shining light of the Socceroos in the Frank Arok Mad Dog era of the 80's. A player before his time, he could dribble, pass and tackle as well as anyone in the game. His vision was world class and his combativeness was as good as any player who has ever worn the green and gold. The Diegos caught up with Oscar in 2010 to chat about his life in football. Knowing that Crino could have been anything in today game, his respect and passion for his former teammates and his modest appraisal of his own achievements playing for Australia, made this our most humbling interview in 23 years of football radio.
