Mark Bosnich Biography

Mark Bosnich is one of the most popular and richest Australian footballer who was born on January 13, 1972 in Liverpool, New South Wales, Australia. Mark Bosnich (born 13 January 1972) is an Australian former goalkeeper, as well as a sports pundit. His playing career was in England with Premier League clubs Aston Villa, Manchester United and Chelsea. In addition, he played for Australia as a player for Sydney United, Central Coast Mariners and Sydney Olympic, as well as playing for Australia 17 times in his career. He scored one goal for his country. He currently hosts Bill & Boz on Fox Sports News

Bosnich got married for the very second time, in the year 1992 in 1992, to an English woman known as Lisa Hall. The wedding was held at Sydney, New South Wales in February. It was believed that he got married Hall in order to go back to Britain following problems with his work visa. Two years after wedding, Home Office officials were convinced that it was not a marriage of convenience, and Bosnich was permitted to stay forever at Britain. But the union ended after just three months. According to his own words, “We were in love but our marriage just didn’t work out.” His second wedding was with Sarah Jarrett, in 1999. He nearly missed the altar, as he had only been granted bail just hours before the wedding due to an incident in a stripclub at his stag party.

Bosnich was one of the few players to be retained by new manager Brian Little following Atkinson’s dismissal in November 1994, as the bulk of Atkinson’s team was sold off to make way for a new side. 1995–96 was perhaps the best season of Bosnich’s career. He was now widely acclaimed as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, as he helped Villa finished fourth in the league and win the Football League Cup final at Wembley with a 3–0 triumph over Leeds United.

In 1996, Bosnich was fined £1,000 and censured by the FA after he was found guilty of misconduct by upsetting fans of Tottenham Hotspur (a club with a large Jewish following) with a Nazi salute. Bosnich spent three more seasons at Villa Park before his contract expired and he joined Manchester United on a free transfer. He had played 227 times in seven-and-a-half years with the Midlanders.

He played only two more times in the club of Manchester United before his registration with the club was canceled on June 30, 1991. He was back in Sydney Croatia briefly in the 1991-92 season. He then returned to England and signed for Aston Villa on a free transfer on February 28, 1992.

The first time he played for the national team was in 1990, against the touring USSR club team Torpedo and was then a series of more appearances in “unofficial” Socceroos games over the following years. His first international appearance came in 1993 when he was playing New Zealand in a qualifying match for the 1994 World Cup. Bosnich was also a part of the Socceroos in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Bosnich was born in and was raised in Liverpool, New South Wales in a Croatian family. He attended Casula Primary School, then Liverpool Boys High School. Bosnich was a member of the Sydney Croatia youth team before making the move to England. In 1989 at the age of 17 Bosnich signed with Manchester United on a non-contract basis. He made his debut in the First Division fixture against Wimbledon on the 30th of April, 1990.

Bosnich did not claim a regular place in the Aston Villa first team until the 1993–94 season. In the League Cup semi-final against Tranmere Rovers that season, he dramatically stopped three shots in a penalty shoot-out. He later admitted that he should have been sent off before extra-time began for fouling Tranmere’s John Aldridge. Villa would go on to win the final, against his former club, Manchester United. In March 1994 Bosnich saved two penalties against Tottenham Hotspur, one from Darren Anderton and one from Nick Barmby, to help secure a 1–1 draw. These were his fourth and fifth penalty saves from open play that season. 1994–95 was Bosnich’s first full season as Villa’s first-choice goalkeeper, but it was a disappointing season for the club as they narrowly avoided relegation.

Bosnich was keen on the idea of moving to the Reebok Stadium and the player’s agent admitted that dialogue had taken place but Sam Allardyce remained coy about his interest. In the autumn of 2004, he spurned an opportunity to return to football with League One side, Walsall, who were then managed by Paul Merson, who had played alongside Bosnich in his final season at Aston Villa. Later speculation linked him with a return to football with Conference side Grays Athletic.
