A-League club Victory to sell Socceroos jerseys

Socceroos star Aussie superstar David Pocock is set to sell his A-Lister shirts, which have become a staple of his style of play, to win the right to represent Australia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The 25-year-old midfielder is set for a sell-off of the iconic red and white jerseys in an effort to get more fans into the sport, which has been criticised for a lack of sponsors.

Pocock is the highest-profile A-league star to sell out international matches in recent years and, like many others, the Socceroos captain has taken a heavy personal hit with his retirement after a string of knee injuries.

Victory, the A-lister side that won the Socceroo Super Cup in 2014, are reportedly preparing to sell off Pocock’s iconic jerseys and replace them with a new set.

Pok confirmed on social media that he was in discussions with Victory over the sale of his jersey, which had become an icon of his playing career.

Polock was among the most famous A-lingos to sell their jerseys, which became a fixture in his style, winning the Socceros Super Cup, Asian Champions League and World Cup with his club in 2014.

Victoria will sell their jersey at a nominal fee, with the club hoping to raise $10 million from the sale.

Victorian Football Federation chief executive Steve Breen said he had been in contact with Victory, who he said had agreed to sell the shirts to a charity.

Victorians AFL boss Paul Little said the sale would benefit Victorians, who have been left with “a little less than $30 million” in savings over the next two years.

“Victorians fans deserve a better way to spend their hard-earned money and Victory are determined to do just that by providing fans with a good value for their hard earned money,” Little said.

Victoriac football club chairman Paul Little says the club will use the money raised to donate to local children’s charities.AUSTRALIA’S BOSTON BEARS TO RECALL GEOFF TO CONTRACT FOR A-LEAGUE PLAYER David Pococks Aussie legend David Pocoo is set upon by his hometown of Perth to become a coach, with Perth FC announcing he will join the club’s board of directors.
