So, after a week of using (and sometimes avoiding) the Metro Tunnel to commute to work, this is one final vent on the topic (until footy season proper), in order to avoid complaining about the Metro Tunnel and how it's stuffed my daily commute becoming my entire personality.

Very sad to hear Rocco Di Zio has passed away today.
Rocco was a leading journo for @ilglobonews and La Fiamma in the Italian community of Australia. Rocco loved football and was a key supporter and committee man for Brunswick Juventus over many decades.
Rocco sacrificed a lot of his personal time and resources for many new arrivals from Italy to help them get settled and for the football community at large.
A crowning moment was when he received his award in the Australia Day honours a few years ago.
A true legend and great friend to so many.
I started my life in football administration assisting Rocco back many moons ago at Brunswick Juventus and without knowing it then, Rocco became my mentor.
Lots of love Rocco and Rest In Peace my dear friend.
