00:00A bit of a shock first of all because we obviously saw that he picked up the injury during the

00:06game and he was sore at half-time but there was no doubt about him continuing and so you

00:14kind of digest that and then post-game, again he was sore but you kind of go, well he's

00:18played 60 minutes, sore ankle, we'll tape it up and go again.

00:24Honestly, I always knew Vicario was different, he's a great guy with a really strong mentality.

00:30And for him to play 60 minutes with a fractured ankle, it says a lot about him and I really

00:38respect that.

00:39And as a big brother, obviously I know it's hard when you have to go over an operation

00:44and I just wish him the best and can't wait for him to be back.

00:48I guess externally now people realise it's a testament to him as a person, he's as tough

00:55as nails, as tough as they come and the fact that he played at that level for 60 odd minutes

01:00with a fractured ankle was quite outstanding.
