Ange Postecoglou shared a top story about the late Shane Warne after the tragic passing of the Australian cricketer.
Hailing from Oz, Ange is a big cricket fan and watched Shane during the height of his sporting career.
Since Shane’s untimely passing, there has been an outpouring of emotion and people reminiscing about some of his exploits on the cricket field.
Speaking to the Front Bar, Ange recalls watching The Ashes with friends and how one of his mates branded Shane overrated before he absolutely smashed it during the series.
Ange and Shane spoke as recently as around three months ago when Shane interviewed the Celtic gaffer.
The Hoops boss is proud of his Australian roots and regularly keeps in touch with the media back in Oz as he continues his Celtic journey.
Ange paid tribute to Shane via the Celtic website shortly after his passing:
“This is absolutely devastating news to lose Shane, particularly at such a relatively young age, and my heart goes out to his whole family.
“We have lost a brilliant man, a phenomenal guy with such personality, energy and spirit and, of course, Australia has lost one of its true sporting icons.
“Indeed. I’m not sure Australia will ever find anyone quite like him again. For me, he was just one of the greatest and an absolute one of a kind.
“I had the pleasure of speaking to Shane a few weeks ago and it was a joy, a real moment for me as someone who respected him so much and it is something I will always treasure.
“Across Australia and, in fact, the whole sporting world, Shane’s loss will be deeply felt. Above all, though, the loss to Shane’s family will be so difficult to bear and to them I extend my sincere and deepest sympathy.”
Shane was someone who transcended cricket and was very much in the mainstream. It’s why so many people have been paying tribute to the Australian.
We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this very difficult time.
