To know that it meant so much for him and that we could do that for him, it was a really special feeling.” At the other end, roughly 100 Macarthur fans attempted in vain to provide some sort of vocal response. “He kind of mentioned to us before the game, in the pre-match talk, that this game had a special meaning for him. But immediately after receiving it during the post-match ceremony, Davila handed it to Macarthur chairman Gino Marra, and insisted the club keep it as a gift. The Bulls immediately sent several members of their coaching staff to assist Davila and his family with whatever they needed. I just tried to give something back to the club. That’s why I say [the reason I decided to keep playing] was because of this group, all these people around – they make me feel like I have a family here. he never lets it come to the surface. That made Toure, like Arzani, a target for boos for the remainder of the match, but neither player – nor any of the Bulls – allowed the treatment to get under their skin.

Macarthur FC have dedicated their Australia Cup triumph to their grieving skipper Ulises Davila, who won the Mark Viduka Medal for best afield in Saturday night’s final just four months after the sudden death of his wife - and then gave it straight to the club as a gesture of appreciation.
