"Time almost stopped for me": Rising Phoenix star recounts 'surreal' All Whites call-up
Corban Piper's year just keeps getting better.
The Wellington Phoenix striker has scored in his side's opening two matches of the A-League season and has been rewarded with a maiden All Whites call-up.
Piper was lost for words when coach Darren Bazeley rung to tell him he was in the squad for two home matches against India next month.
He told Piney time almost stopped for him when he got the call.
"It's been a goal since I was a kid, and I think it's any footballer's goal."
Piper says it was a surreal moment.
