I am Micky Valkanis.

I play for Adelaide United FC.

I grew up in Melbourne.

As a kid I wanted to be a professional footballer.

I love my family; my wife and my son Dimitri.

I love eating out with a group of friends.

I think I will be a good coach when my playing days are over.

I get embarrassed when... never, I just get on with it!

I wish I never neglected study when I was at Uni, although I now study away from football.

My first memory is when I was six and registering for junior football - it’s my life.

I’m hopeless at being a handyman - I’d rather call the appropriate pro to come and fix it.

I promise I’ll never give up and give 100%.

Friends say I am committed to whatever I do or am a part of.

When I’m not playing football I spend my time with my family and enjoy watching Dimitri grow.
