Boutsianis, capped four times for Australia and a huge fans favourite at South Melbourne and Perth Glory, was considered Australia's finest set piece specialist during the NSL years before the A-League kicked off.

"A friend of mine has a coaching academy in New Jersey and he asked me if I wanted to come over and help out one of his private clients," he said. "Her name is Carly Lloyd and she plays for the US Olympic team.
