Con Boutsianis
Constantinos "Con" Boutsianis (born 27 December 1971 in Melbourne) is an Australian soccer player and former international, noted for his ability in dead ball situations.
Boutsianis was a boyhood South Melbourne Hellas fan and began playing at the club from age 10.
After impressive performances for the South Melbourne youth side, the legendary Hungarian coach Ferenc Puskas placed his faith in the young winger and called him up to the senior team.
Boutsianis began his senior career with South Melbourne in the National Soccer League in 1989, becoming known as a goalscoring midfielder. Boutsianis would be a part of the 1991 Championship winning side under Puskas. He quickly established himself as one of Australia's best talents, renowned for his free-kick and corner abilities.
After six years and 40 goals, he left South at the end of 1994/95 to join Heidelberg United for the 1996 Victorian Premier League season, before joining Collingwood Warriors for their one and only season in the NSL.
Following the club's demise at the end of the 1996/97 campaign, he had a short stint in the VPL with Bentleigh Greens, before rejoining South for the 1997/98 NSL season.
Boutsianis took the league by storm and flourished under manager Ange Postecoglou. He played a crucial role in the Grand Final against Carlton, scoring the controversial winning goal in the last minute after coming on as a substitute, ending a seven-year championship wait for Hellas. Paul Trimboli sent a long ball forward, finding Boutsianis in pursuit behind Carlton defender Sean Douglas. Boutsianis seemed to push Douglas to the ground before collecting the ball and proceeding to beat former teammate and Carlton goalkeeper Dean Anastasiadis.
Despite being the hero of the Grand Final, Boutsianis went over to Perth Glory for the next two seasons, arguably reaching his peak as a player, scoring 25 goals in 49 appearances. He became a fan favourite in Perth due to his dead ball skills often scoring from free-kicks and corners. A short, unsuccessful stint with Bolton Wanderers followed.
