Nikolai Topor-Stanley

For those getting excited about the big name replacement, I'm hoping we are disappointed by

"And a big Wanderers spotless stadium welcome to returning for his second spell Matt Sim"

Farewell Topor. Your passion and commitment meant something in the most important place for a footballer; on the field. Also your legendary hoofball contributions will always be remembered.....even got your skillz immortalised by Santo, Sam and Ed

All the best mate   

Not the farewell our club & team captain deserved, yes he slipped a few notches recently but that isn't the way he deserves to be remembered. Farewell Topa, your hard work & leadership is what lead us to 4 successful seasons. Good luck on your overseas adventures & a well deserved pay packet

Topor was known to frequent Peterhsham Charcoal Chicken for that and being a boss player for us, I shall miss him

It was on The B League. Unless there was another skit.

If you're right, Mack better ban you pronto.

Who could forget (off the field)...

The skits (good, bad and in between)

The beard challenge vs. Bridgey

Christening Bridge Fathead (I think it was NTS)

Generally being a good bloke (with a sense of humour)

He was arguably the definition of WSW for a while. He went from a run of the mill CB to Socceroo (squad) in two seasons. He was a great leader, a solid defender and is not easy to replace.

Free transfer, Taurus?

“It’s come up this morning. We’ll probably know a lot more in the next day or two,†he said.

“Nikolai, with the history we have at this club, he’s been here four years and been an absolute fantastic servant, it’s an opportunity he wants to have a look at and we want to support him on that.

“If it doesn’t work out, he’ll be available next week.â€

Coach Popa on NTS.

I assume so, although we may have received something for our trouble. 

Good luck NTS, Regardless of how it ended will always be a foundation player and a club legend. 

Dosvedanya tovarisch Nikolai..

His leaving may not be in the most glorious of ways, but he was a true and loyal son of the red and black for many a season, and he deserves our thanks, respect and good wishes for the future.

Whatever the circumstances now, or how we may debate aspects of his recent past, he will always be a great Western Sydney Wanderer.

complete legend for us

Another no chance to farewell one of our own after another mass spring clean out and unceremonious refurbishment. That includes our ground. The only certainty is Popa and the club badge. Wear life's clothing loosely following our team lest we get attached to anything before it disappears without a hug. Unfortunately Topor chose to get sent off in preparation for the Derby but remains testament like Bridge on what one can morph into under Popa. Maybe we'll meet again in an ACL playoff. Tall timbers fall hard.

The above seems to give an impression a xfer may have been paid

Be interesting to find out how much we recieved

already in the ex-players thread 

Which one of the four is NTS?

I guess it makes sense he loses all the hair with the heat and all.

Which one of the four is NTS?

No idea, but the one at the back is super tall.

3 live ones at the front and one portrait at the back.

 

holy **** it is too!

ah well. Good on him. Should have left after last season and the timing of this is crappy for all involved. He just disappears in a whimper which is a shame for our captain for the past few years.

Deserved a proper farewell from us.

Would have liked him to play in front of us one last time before he left and give him a proper goodbye.

He did get a 30 minute run with the seconds, against the Jets at Cessnock. T'was the perfect send off

NO, the way he repped our crest, on the Wednesday night prior against Heart, was sad.
