I went to school with Eels player Jeff Perl. He was a few years ahead of me and was my brothers best friend.El Masri was a soccer player in his youth.
He kicked the ball alright. From a tee anyway.
Rest of his game was pretty shithouse though.
He was a Jnr rep soccer player and was recruited by the two blues as a winger goal kicker. Not sure if he repped with union but he was a gun goal kicker and could literally pot a goal around the corner style anywhere inside the halfway line.
He was signed by the Eels and was not a great success. I can't recall how many FG games he played in the late 80's but it would have to be less than a dozen.
