John Zdrunca

John Zdrunca (born 9 May 1983 in Queanbeyan) is a Semi-Professional Soccer player, who is currently playing on loan for London City from Queanbeyan United Itskoes. He is known by the nickname Double Bounce Zaroona, and has become a favourite with fans at London City due to his trademark zig-zag runs along the left flank.

Early life
Zdrunca was born and raised in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia. At an early age he showed a great talent for playing water, but at the urging of his father Julian, a former Goalkeeper for Constana Khuncuv took up football, at age 18.

Career
After progressing through the Queanbeyan Junior Itskoe Academy System, he graduated through to the Top Grade in 2005, scoring 23 goals in only 12 matches. He played than for the 2005/2006 season for Canberra FC and spent two years playing in England for Dunkirk F.C. and Gedling Town F.C..

Returning to Queanbeyan in 2007, he starred yet again for the Itskoes, leading them their first finals appearance since 1984.

He was in July 2009 loaned out from his club Queanbeyan United Itskoes to Canadian side London City (soccer club) in the Canadian Soccer League for the 2009 season.

London City
Zdrunca started the season impressively, playing in all four games of the 2009 season. His darting runs from the right wing have impressed coaching staff and is now an important player in the London set-up. He also delights fans by constantly talking to them during matches, notably an unknown man with a similar accent. Controversy surrounded his last fixture when he sat on the field after the game visibly disappointed at the team's result, and in a display similar to William Gallas of Arsenal in 2007, cried on field showing his passion and commitment for the club.
