spy-duh Years ago, I had a pet tarantula called Jack. My younger siblings were scared of Jack, so he always came in handy for my pranks. One day, my little cousin came over. At lunch, I put the spider on top of his sandwich when he wasn’t looking. He went to take a bite, saw it, and screamed so loud. It startled my auntie, who grabbed her newspaper and... Let’s just say I wasn’t happy. Arachnid Kid, Qld minty biccies I tried that prank where you replace the Oreo filling with toothpaste, and did it to an entire packet. I put it back in the kitchen cupboard and totally forgot about the trick until I saw my baby sister walk past, totally covered in toothpaste! I found the empty packet…

The highlights of my career so far were playing in the 2010 World Cup with Serbia and beating Germany, winning the title with Red Star Belgrade in Serbia, and when we won the Hyundai A-League title with Sydney FC three years ago, breaking so many records. I look forward to playing Melbourne Victory and Western Sydney Wanderers the most, because they are the two biggest games in Australian football. I’m very good at playing videogames and being a gamer, particularly FIFA and Pro Evolution. If you want to be in a professional team, play football as much as you can. Sometimes you’ll want to play videogames, but you need to play every day. Even when you finish training, play with friends or by yourself. A recent team prank was when…
