On the occasion of my birthday, Sydney FC dimmed the lights and delivered a beautiful chorus of Bohemian Rhapsody from the Cove under the twinkling lights. It was all for me, I’m sure of it. Don’t spoil the moment. The only thing missing was a goal from Luke Ivanovic. *Remember to swipe on the photosContinue reading “Dancing in the dark”
