Agreed. I'm just being the devil's advocate here. Having said that though, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that just a little coke immediately prior to taking the field might see one through the full 90 minutes. I remember Greg Alexander talking about having a couple of tabs of "No Doze" in order to be alert for the game... same principle I guess.
Gold Coast keen on Bosnich
6 August 2008 | 07:40 - SBS EXCLUSIVE
Gold Coast United are preparing to swoop on Mark Bosnich after it became clear at the weekend he will not be offered anything more than a short-term contract by Lawrie McKinna's Central Coast Mariners.
Miron Bleiberg, head coach of A-League's new boys in waiting, watched Bozza conjure a flawless 25-minute cameo for the Mariners in Sunday's 2-1 Pre-Season Cup win over Queensland Roar.
And he and United's goalkeeping coach, Graham Ross, liked what they saw.
Contact with Bosnich has not yet been made as the former Manchester United and Chelsea keeper's representatives seek to ink a five-match deal with Mariners.
Bosnich has been pencilled in for rounds three to seven of the A-League in place of the suspended Danny Vukovic.
But Bleiberg feels the reborn 36-year-old's long-term future could be on the glitzy Gold Coast, rather than Europe.
The former Queensland Roar coach declared: "Mark is still obviously top quality. He's worked hard to put behind his lack of activity in the past few years and if you add his off-field quality he can be a star in the A-League.
"I haven't spoken to him and until we (United) get our licence (expected to be later this month) we cannot officially approach players.
"But I think the fact he's 36 isn't an impediment for him. You can see he's not too far off his former playing weight and his desire and enthusiasm to prove people wrong is obviously very strong.
"He's one of a few options we're looking at."
United's assistant coach elect, former Socceroos skipper Paul Okon, is also a Bosnich advocate, saying: "He's without doubt the best goalkeeper I ever played with."
It was Okon's recommendation, Bosnich's sparkling form in two appearances for the Mariners (the other was against Sydney) and Bleiberg's own instincts which have led to what could soon become a formal rescue package for the former Socceroos mischief maker.
Bosnich was written off in England after testing positive for cocaine six years ago and subsequently sacked by Chelsea.
Mushrooming weight and lingering drug issues did little to signal a possible comeback to the game in which he has made - and squandered - millions.
But a return to training at English second tier outfit Queens Park Rangers nine months ago - and now his fledgling association with the Mariners - has brought the devilish Bosnich grin back along with the raucous belly laugh.
While his preference is still to return to Europe, Bosnich hasn't ruled out remaining in the country where it all began for him as a teenager with Sydney United.
"It's really just a game-to-game, day-to-day, week-to-week thing and I'm not about to make any big claims about what I might or might not do," Bosnich said.
"There are plenty of people out there waiting for me to falter - and I don't want to them the chance to say 'I told you so'. I'm enjoying every minute of being back here and working with a great bunch of lads at the Mariners."
Mariners majority shareholder, real estate guru Peter Turnbull, said: "Mark's presence has been a huge boost for us in terms of publicity and his performances in the two games he has played have been excellent.
"He's one of the greats of the Australian game and I'd like to see him stay in Australia, even if it doesn't end up being with us.
"He'd be a credit to any A-League club. Our situation is that we're spoiled for keepers. Others aren't so fortunate."

How anyone who witnessed his performance against "worst HAL franchise ever" FC could call him washed up is beyond me.
Hadnt played for years, admits he is unfit and he played a blinder. Even on that form, he pisses all over covic as the local Socceroo choice IMHO.
By the time Danny starts his ban, he will (hopefully) step in and we will all see that we have a genuine legend of the game playing for us.
That he "slipped up" in his past could/has happen to anyone and this self righteous, News Ltd type "drug cheat" is beneath contempt.
