According to the website of his current club, Perth Glory, he's worth 12 extra points in a season and is the rock upon which Glory's title success was built. The question is, what standard of football do they play at?
 
Don't seem to have a fans' team, but they do seem to be a reasonably-sized club with home gates of 8,000 - 9,000. A pic of the stadium shows open-air stands under beautiful blue skies. If he does sign, he's in for a bit of a culture shock!
 
Could somebody please do me a favour :o Could you please copy the info from the web site on to here please as i can't get on to certain sites during wor hours.

Thanks

International Goalkeeper
The club are currently in talks with Australian International Goalkeeper Jason Petkovic formerly of Perth Glory and two times NSL Goalkeeper of the year. In the past Petkovic has had trials with Southampton and Norway's Rosenborg. The club are also still in talks with Jon Kennedy.
 
Jason Petkovic is a current member of the Socceroos (Australia's national soccer team)

Petkovic has now played 100 games for Perth Glory but has played over 250 games in the NSL If he can go past 345, he will beat the goalkeeping record held by Bob Catlin who has now retired

Jason used to play for Adelaide City but in 1999 joined Perth Glory

Statistically Petkovic is the best goalkeeper still playing in the NSL. He has kept a clean sheet on 89 occasions and could beat the all-record set by Bob Catlin of 105

Petkovic has had trials with Southampton (England) and Norway's Rosenborg but these were not successful so for now he remains in the NSL
 
hey Accy fans

Hereford fan here but also follow Glory having lived in Oz for just over 6 months.Jason is a fantastic signing for you!! Did you know he has the record for most clean sheets! He kept 105 clean sheets in 281 games.I hope he can rekindle he fantastic goalkeeping at Accrington.Accrington you have a fantastic signing!!!

Good Luck Jason
 
i would say that the standard of the NSL soon to be called APL is division 2 but there are teams such as Perth Glory and Parramatta Power who could challenge for promotion into the 1st division.

Anyway onto Jason (PETKA) Petkovic he was by far the best goalkeeper playing in the NSL and that thing about being worth 12 points a season i totally agree with that he is a fantastic talent and is very very experienced and if he signs for accy im sure that you will all grow to love him just as much as glor fans did. I hope that if he signs that you embrace him and that you all make him feel welcome but i also hope that he comes back and plays with glory in the APL.

BTW when does accy's season start????
 
Thanks for that info Perth Glory fan, our season starts on 14th August - if he does come to Accrington you can be sure he'll get a very warm welcome from the Stanley fans.
