The father son Socceroo story to make you smile
About this episode
Paul Okon discusses his son and the Socceroos in an insightful conversation.
Paul Okon doesn't like talking about his son with journalists. When you've captained Australia and you're a coach of the Socceroos, you worry about perceptions. He need not stress, Paul Junior is a gun and very much his own man. On the eve of the Turkiye clash, Okon senior indulges us with questions on his son, but discusses the squad more broadly. Tactics, mentality, fear, the ex-Socceroo skipper is expansive and warm in an insightful conversation. Featured: Paul Okon, former Australia captain and Socceroos assistant coach.
