'Batigol' is set to appear on September 13 in Melbourne at a night sponsored by Heidelberg United FC.

Fans will get the chance to dissect the Australia-Argentina game with one of the sport's legends.

This will be a rare opportunity to get up close with a genuine great of the game. FIFA ranked Batistua in the top 125 greatest ever footballers and he is a legend in his home country.

After a spell in Qatar, he has been living a reclusive life in Perth with his family for the last two years.

He was linked with a consortium that was said to be interested in buying Glory when it was on the market last year.

Batistuta also played against Australia in the 1993 World Cup qualifiers.
