Hey Auckland: Your HATE is Corban Piper’s FUEL for the 5th Kiwi Derby! | EP31 - The Unused Subs

The 5th NZ Derby is this Saturday at Go Media Stadium Mt Smart…  and depending on which side of the fence you sit, you’re either gonna love or despise our special guest this week:  Corban Piper of the Wellington Phoenix.In a relatively short A-League career, Corban’s made a name for himself thanks to his physical approach to the game, however he took that to Super Saiyan levels in the 2-1 defeat to Auckland FC last month; a run-in with Dan Hall, a coming-together with Michael Woud, and a Wellington Phoenix legend was born.  In the same breath though, a target was placed on his back ahead of the next meeting between the two sides, for Auckland players and fans alike.In this episode, Corban talks about how he embraces ‘the hate’ and uses it to enhance his on-field performance.  He takes us back to the last derby, into THAT moment, and describes the emotion and feeling of it.  And most importantly, he looks forward to Saturday and what the next 90 minutes holds in store for all of us!We also chat about his love of the gym, which is only eclipsed by his obsession with eggs…  his not so well known osteitis pubis battle, his friendship with Ben Old and the role Corban’s mother played in Oldie’s career, and just what is his best/favourite position…  because he’s played everywhere on the park!What a way to bar up for the next instalment of the Kiwi Derby - Corban Piper, Public Enemy Number 1 on The Unused Subs!FOLLOW THE UNUSED SUBS!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theunusedsubs/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theunusedsubsKiwis talk football too!#football #soccer #newzealand
