How do you come from a country that’s never produced a professional player and win player of the year in a major professional league? Well, that’s the story of Roy Krishna, a player who’s story I have wanted to tell for a long time. I am glad we were finally able to put it together, because it’s somewhere wilder than I even imagined.
Much Love,
The Zealand

As someone who used to attend games when I lived in Wellington for a year, I really have to start watching the Phoenix again because I'm well out of touch with who has been playing for them and how they've been going. I did see that they're top of the league at the moment though, right? I used to serve Leo Bertos occasionally when I was working at Kilbirnie Subway. I was always too shy/cool to try to strike up a conversation with him, but I always sensed that he sensed I was a supporter.

Important to mention that along with Paul Ifill (coincidentally, the guy whose injury triggered Krishna's emergency signing back in 2013), Roy Krishna is considered the Phoenix's best ever player. There's a famous Roy Krishna story from his Wellington Phoenix days that still gets shared around now. Ahead of the 17/18 season, we hired Bosnian manager Darije Kalezić - our first ever manager without any A-League experience. He was a flat-out awful hire, who lost the dressing room immediately and couldn't get the best out of Krishna who had only four goals in his 21 games. After one particularly tough loss, Kalezić came into the dressing room in front of the entire team brandishing a Fijian rugby jersey and threw it at Krishna, telling him he might as well play a different sport. Kalezić was dumped midway through the season, we salvaged 9th place, and we almost lost Krishna to the Colorado Rapids in the MLS as he was so disillusioned with the club. They didn't match our asking price for him though - and Krishna promptly followed up his poor 17/18 return by grabbing 34 goals and 11 assists in the next two seasons (48 games). An unequivocal club legend, and we still hold out hope he returns home one day

8:24 True. He really broke down barriers for pacific islander players here in australia. He opened the door for players like Vanuatuan Brian Kaltak - who is one of the best centre backs in an any asian league - The guy is a machine and only signed his first pro contract at 28! All this really goes to show how much inequality is in football. Its sad to think about how many good players never succeeded; whether due to poverty, discrimination, geography etc. Stories like this though show that maybe one day we might be able to turn football into a real meritocracy

There's a couple of small mistakes with pronunciation (Lam-basa, Wai-tah-kah-ray) or geography/history (Siberia is his village in Labasa his province is Macuata Province, Football is the main sport in Labasa with the Lions as our pride) but Roy Krishna ultimately is one of the most inspirational figures not just as a Football fan but as a Fijian man. I had to stop the video multiple times because my chest was so bursting with pride I thought it was going to explode. Thank you so much for this video, I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

Kia Ora from Wellington! Love your channel. I was working in Fiji in 2005 and I remember distinctly being told of the "Fijian Rooney" playing in their league. Because of that I've always kept an eye on his career. I wasn't surprised when Waitakere signed him as talented Pacific Islanders often end up in the NZ league. The Phoenix, under coach Ricki Herbert (the same guy who coached NZ to the WC finals in 2010), trialed him twice and didn't sign him. When they finally signed him, he languished on the bench for ages. As a Wellington Phoenix fan, I absolutely love what Roy did for us but I'm also immensely disappointed we did not recognize his talent and utilise him a lot earlier. The ISL has a history of disappointing, big money signings from Europe. Ecstatic to see it was a Hindi speaking Fijian who set that league on fire. Shout out to David Williams who left the Phoenix with Roy and joined him in India. The two of them combining on the field is a joy to watch. If Roy did come back to the A-League; it would be hard to see him in Auckland colours but he will always remain a Phoenix legend.

I feel happy and proud as Bengaluru FC fan, as he represented us for a season. Really, a beast of a player and one who puts club above himself.

Roy Krishna is now an absolute legend in the ISL( Indian Super League ) and I feel lucky that he has represented my club ATK MohunBagan ( now Mohun Bagan) ❤ . That too he's of Indian origin , what if his parents stayed in India ?
