Since joining Brisbane Roar in mid-2010 from Scottish club
Greenock Morton, Erik Paartalu has been one of the first names written
into Head Coach Ange Postecoglou’s team sheet each week, having claimed
the defensive midfield role as his own through consistently strong
performances in front of the back four.
And no matter what is said
and done in the rest of his footballing career, the former Qantas Joey
has already etched his name into club folklore after he scored the
equalising goal at the death in the Hyundai A-League 2010/11 Grand Final
against Central Coast Mariners.
Here, Paartalu talks about “that
goal”, his role in the Roar’s leadership group, his national team
ambitions and which teammate has been helping him with his fantasy
football team.
