Hellenic will be led up front by dreadlocked marksman Carvalho and include an eclectic mix of players from Asia, Africa, Europe and the UK.

"Helio was the top scorer in the preliminary Cup rounds in all of Australia,” Boubaris said.

"He might be 48 years old but he does not stop running. He’s got an engine on him like I’ve never seen before. He just runs all day. He’s played a bit of a higher level overseas. He’s a bit of a sharp shooter, he scores goals.

"We’ve got one or two pretty silky players in the team –Sulav Maskey – he’s from Nepal. He’s a bit of a wizard, really clever on the ball. A left winger, just a bit of a genius really. He’s quick, he’s got a good shot on him, he’ll cause a bit of havoc in the game.

"There’s our midfielder Daniel Smith. He trialed for Brighton. He’s a bit of a strong player, he does the job in midfield. There’s English boys, some from Mozambique, Nepal, East Timor, obviously Australians, Greeks.

"Darwin itself is very multicultural. We get a lot of guys from England, Ireland and they’re pretty gifted. We’ve got players from many different backgrounds.”

Hellenic Athletic claim to be the oldest club in the Northern Territory and are one of the most successful with 19 titles in the past six decades.

They aim for a crowd pushing close to 4000 at the 6000-capacity Darwin Football Stadium to watch the tie with Western Sydney.

"I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to see Markus Babbel and some of those high-profile players and coaches in Darwin,” Boubaris said.

"We’ve got a few Liverpool supporters associated with the club and they’re pretty keen to meet the guy, get an autograph and shake his hand. I don’t want to jinx us, but we have been the most dominant club in Darwin in the past five, six years.

"We were unlucky not to make it through [to the round of 32 before) but credit to those teams that did. But I think we’ve got a better team this year then we have in previous years."
