The 49-year-old was born and brought up in Melbourne which has a strong Celtic community and played football in his youth before switching his attention fully to cricket.

After retiring from Test Cricket he continued to play the shorter versions of the game helping to establish the Indian Premier League and the popular Twenty-Twenty version of the game.

Controversy has never been far away during and after his playing career with little sign of ageing from his playing peek of 20 years ago.

Had he visited Vegas last month he could have joined in with 4,000 other fans enjoying the convention of the North American Celtic Supporters Clubs.
