Greek-Italian. Once again, mother is Italian.

They only go back two generations to find Italian enthnicity. So if your great-gandparent is Italian, it doesnt count.

Yes. It wasnt the first time he was involved in controversy either. He played for South Melbourne when he was in high school. He got suspended from school, because South wouldnt let him play for the school in the schools comp. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall it was De La Salle.

Robbie's team will be pretty close to the mark, although I'de prefer Joey in there instead of Liber.

Does Jared Brennan qualify as he seems to want to replicate Kouta's one hand carrying of the ball bullshit (although he only gets it about 1/10th of the time Kouta does).

Just as an aside, many many moons (in my single days) ago I shagged Adrian Battiston's sister (my god she was fugly) :o
