Robbie Gaspar was the first Australian footballer to play in Indonesia. He is currently a Player Development Manager, a football ambassador and a member of the Australia Indonesia Business Council.  After the game he explained to Sri Dean why we should admire the team and its management and why he feels very optimistic about the team’s future.
