Marcus Stergiopoulos
Marcus Stergiopoulos (born 12 June 1974) is an Australian former soccer player who played as a midfielder. Stergiopoulos made 89 appearances for Morwell Falcons in four separate stints at the club in Latrobe Valley-Gippsland, under the Falcons' three names (Morwell, Gippsland, and Eastern Pride). He is considered one of the best players to ever emerge from Gippsland, one of the strongest football regions in Australia.[1] Blessed with exceptional pace, excellent dribbling and crossing ability, Stergiopoulos was considered one of the best players in the National Soccer League and described by Johnny Warren as "an outstanding attacker down the flanks."[2] He made headlines when he scored a superb equalising goal from 30 yards out in the 1998 National Soccer League Grand Final.[3] Stergiopoulos signed for English club Lincoln City in August 2000. He scored once for the club, in a League Cup tie against Sheffield United, before leaving in November 2000.[4] References
