Substitute goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne's dancing antics have helped Australia claim a shootout win over Peru in an inter-continental playoff, but he says he is no hero, instead only playing his part as the side claimed a fifth-straight World Cup appearance.
The 33-year-old journeyman, who had trials at Arsenal as a teenager, was brought on for his third cap with three minutes to play at the end of extra time and stopped the last kick as the Socceroos won 5-4 on penalties after the match ended goalless. Redmayne's antics were certainly a distraction. He danced along the line, waving his arms furiously, wiggling his hips and moving from side to side at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium."It's a team game, it's a team effort, so I can't take any more credit than any of the other 27 [players] who are here.
"I've been working on a few things in training, but at the end of the day it's a flip of the coin — it's either right or left.
