On the 4th of July 1971, Nedijeljko “Ned” Zelic was born in Sydney, Australia. As an adolescent the boy with the Croatian roots played for Sydney Olympic, Croatia Sydney and the Australian Institute of Sport. In 1992 his career led him to Borussia Dortmund.

In his three years with Borussia Alex Frei successfully continued the Swiss tradition in Dortmund. He evolved into personified life insurance during our relegation fight. The 2007 Derby hero scored 34 goals in 74 matches. Despite several injuries the all-time top scorer of the “Nati” (Swiss national team) always fought his way back into the starting line-up. Unforgettable his brace in September 2008 against Blue Scum, which meant the comeback after being 0-3 down. Only recently Alex Frei announced his resignation from the “Nati” by the end of the 2010/2011 season.

It is a gloomy day in Dortmund. The rain is drizzling down, a rough wind blows and coming in to the city the U is hidden behind clouds, only some yellow shining through the grey. But never mind the bad weather, it is all sunshine down at training ground in Brackel. Some 100 people have gathered to watch the first training session of our boys in black and yellow. Rumors of the call up of at least three Borussia young guns circulate among the packed journo area until Kevin Großkreutz smiles and says: “Yes, it is true”.

It has been a long time since the days of Ned Zelic, the only
Australian ever to wear a Borussia Dortmund jersey. This was back in the
early 90s. Out of nowhere in May 2010 Borussia signed the young
Australian goalkeeper Mitch Langerak from Melbourne Victory until 2014.
An unusal signing for the club, who had relied on older second keepers
in the past. With Marc Ziegler off to Stuttgart, Mitch Langerak at an
age of 22 is now the man behind Roman Weidenfeller.
schwatzgelb.com sat down with Mitch before the match against Bayern Munich to find out about his
career in Australia, how he copes with driving on the right side of the
road and of course about his ambitions in Dortmund. Here is the first part of our interview.
