Profile

Mark Schwarzer speaks English and German but probably knows how to communicate ‘cool’ in any language. His intimidating height and reputation are foiled only by his good nature.

In soccer his ability to guard the net has been at the heart of English Premier League and European club campaigns as well as Australia’s return from the FIFA World Cup wilderness after thirty years.

Fame has afforded Mark Schwarzer many things yet famously he has used the same shin pads since he was 19 years old – a reminder that humility resides at the foot of greatness.
