It has been more than a decade since Mark Milligan last played club football in Sydney. Quite a lot has changed - particularly in the city's south-western fringes, where the former Socceroos skipper spends a lot of time in his new job.Mark Milligan believes Macarthur FC have what it takes to be"more than competitive" in their first A-League season."It's the epicentre now. A lot of my mates who I grew up with have all moved out that way and live out that way.

Macarthur FC imports Benat Etxebarria, left, and Markel Susaeta in action against Barcelona last year.Some football insiders believe Macarthur FC could become one of the competition's biggest clubs if they successfully tie themselves to the evolving civic identity of Campbelltown and its surrounds, where a new housing estate seems to spring up every other week.

The headliners are former Athletic Bilbao icons Markel Susaeta and Benat Etxebarria, who were due to emerge from hotel quarantine on Monday.
