With every sporting club, comes its different characters.

The Australian cricket teams of the past have been categorised into the nerds and julios.

And when you think of football stars, particularly on the European stage, the bling and the designer brands come to mind. It's all part of the off-field culture in sport.

While fans love the on-field results and drama. There's an interest into what athletes are like off the field. Are they a good person? What's their fashion style?

While football is the important ingredient, there's star power attached to it considering the Wales-based club is owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

At least that's according to goalkeeper, Jack Duncan.

"I think you can definitely pick out the boys who aren't into their fashion," he told Wide World of Sports.

"And then there's a few boys that try harder then others, and some maybe try too hard."

Where does he fit in that?

"I would like to think I'm in the upper end of the spectrum but I don't try too hard. I'm a dad at the end of the day and I can't keep up with the young fellas very well."

The focus on fashion for the side comes from a partnership with clothing brand SuperDry for the club, and Duncan notes "a few lucky boys" filled up their Christmas stockings when visiting the store recently.

"They didn't really share that with all of us, but that's all right, we've all been given some good stuff," he laughed.

Jack Duncan's Victory will come up against Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham.

But back to the on-field action.

The success of Wrexham has made them an internationally acclaimed club and the documentary series, Welcome to Wrexham, brings the yes of more than just passionate football fans. The players have become more than just athletes, they're on-screen stars too.

Now that star power is in Australia, with the first stop Marvel Stadium on Friday night.

"It's not every year you get international teams playing us as a singular club," Duncan said.

"For us to be able to play a team that's captured the world audience in what they've done with the documentary is really exciting."

Melbourne City celebrate winning the A-League grand final.

Just over a month on from that loss, the likes of Daniel Arzani, Ryan Teague and Kasey Bos have moved overseas while Mitch Langerak is a recent retiree.

But with that has come the signings of Franco Lino, Keegan Jelacic and Louis D'Arrigo.

Duncan admits there is definitely a sense of 'missed opportunities' considering Victory have lost two grand finals in a row.

"We've lost a couple of players and brought in a few to freshen things up," he said.

"Those boys that have come in, maybe don't have the scars of last year that some of the other boys do but for us as a club we look at a few missed opportunities over the last few years with grand finals and on one hand, it's really good to be in that position to win silverware. To be making grand finals shows where the club's at, but to fall short on a couple of occasions is obviously really tough, so we'll look at that over the course of the next few weeks as we gear up for the start of the Australia Cup.

"We want to be in the position to win silverware but ultimately we want to be getting across the line and lifting the trophy."

Duncan watched from the goal as Socceroos capped stars Aziz Behich and Mathew Leckie tore apart his team in the grand final.

It's those names that come to mind when he considers how his side must improve to go that extra step.

"I don't think we have to change too much. Like I said, we're getting into those games, but maybe it's a mentality thing ... ultimately, I think the experience you get from making those kind of games (is valuable)," he said.

"When you look at the, the boys who really performed for Melbourne City in the grand final, the likes of Aziz Behich and Mat Leckie, they've got the experience of those big games and they can help drive the teammates around them to get them over the line and as us as a club, me included, play more of those games, you gather knowledge of how to get yourself across the line and, and get the team over the line."

While the grand final experience was a net negative for the Victory, it was an astounding net positive for the A-League.

A sold out crowd at AAMI Park showed there's plenty of life in the A-League despite its critics.

Duncan, who has played in Denmark and Saudi Arabia, described the walk out as "one of the best memories" from his time last year.

"Walking out for the warm up in front of the north terrace and the reception I got from that was something really special," he said.

"It's really showing, hopefully where the game's trending, and Victory, I guess, set the benchmark in terms of fans, and the atmosphere they create.

"So hopefully everyone continues to turn out for us because they really help us throughout the year and all the boys really appreciate the support that they give us.

Victory fans during the grand final.

"When you're playing overseas, grand finals are as much of a thing as they are here in Australia. I've had some, some amazing opportunities to play in different countries, and they all support you in different ways. I think playing against the likes of Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in Saudi, it's packed stadiums but not necessarily the same kid of atmosphere.

"And then in Denmark, they do some pretty cool things over there with the players as well, during the warm-up. But nothing compares to a packed out AAMI Park full of Victory fans because, the noise they give us and the teams playing against us is something really special.

"I'm really grateful to be here and be a Victory player as well."
