After making sporadic appearances in the first two seasons at the Wanderers, he came of age in the 2016/17 season, being called upon as the #1 central defender over the vastly experienced Robbie Cornthwaite & foreign player Aritz Borda. Unfortunately for young Aspro, a severe knee injury he picked up during the Wanderers successful National Youth League Grand Final saw his 2017/18 season cut short, and perhaps lead to his release from the Wanderers on 14.5.2018.

slipperypete Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Imagine if he scores a goal in the near future at wanderland, I'd like to see if the vast majority can pronounce his name.. My guess is it might go something like thisAnnouncer: JONATHANNNNNCROWD: AHIPPOPOTAMUSSSS!!..Lame joke..Exits page stage left. Edited March 12, 2015 by slipperypete Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
theguest7 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I see someone is born 1997 and I think to myself is it even legal to employ these kids…then it dawns on me time has actually moved on and good ol' Johnno is nearly an adult. Good luck mate, hope you follow Theo's footsteps and shorten your last name. DontCallMeJacko, theguyyouwishyouwere and Prydzopolis 3 Link to comment

Zelinsky Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 According to Popa, young Jonathan was discovered by Ian Crook, and brought into the club on Crook's recommendation. 102megan, Kizza, Unlimited and 1 other 4 Link to comment
102megan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 One of my Greek workmates, knows Aspro & his family, and was excited to tell ne that he knew someone that started for the WSW on the weekend's match! Aspro went to school in Newington, and yeah, Ian Crook's known him since those days. He's still only 17 - so looking forward to seeing what he can do!

pushiepedlar Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Spoke with Jonathan on Friday (he was doing a session with the rest of the boys left out of the squad for fridays game on the training field next to the weekly clinic my kids attend). Well spoken, plenty of time for the kids, seemed stoked to be playing with the guys he was with. Prydzopolis, theguest7 and 102megan 3 Link to comment

marron Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The only appropriate song I can think of is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Actually his name scans into that pretty well Aspropotam-Aspropotam-Aspropotamitis Link to comment

Well spoken, plenty of time for the kids, seemed stoked to be playing with the guys he was with. How do you even recognise someone you've seen only once? Unless you've known this kid from before it would be pretty hard to recognise him. If he came up to me and he said he played for WSW I'll probably tell him to piss off and stop lying, I'm a fan and I've never seen his face. I remember for Christmas I was at Stanwell Park and Kuzi was there, but unless one of my cousins told me who he was I would've never recognised him as a player for my team. Maybe I'm just bad with faces though! Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
