Socceroos World cup hero was overlooked by A-League club this year

Socceroos reserve goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne is the toast of Australia after sealing Australia's passage into the FIFA World Cup.

But the goalkeeper was fighting for his spot in Australia's domestic A-League competition as little as four months ago.

Socceroos coach Graham Arnold pulled a stunning selection shock at the end of double-overtime in the Socceroos do-or-die qualification clash against Peru in Doha by hooking regular goalkeeper and captain Mat Ryan.

The dancing truly worked.
