The name Brian Kalteck has regularly hit the headlines in football circles in the past few weeks.
The Vanuatu international became a source of controversy when he came off the reserve bench during the closing stanzas of Wairarapa United's 2-1 win over Napier City Rovers in a Chatham Cup match in Napier on June 16.
The furore was not about Kalteck's on-field performance, but because Rovers protested at his appearance as, according to them, he was not eligible to do so because he had allegedly forfeited his "non-guest player" classification by playing overseas within the past 12 months.
New Zealand Football upheld the protest and disqualified Wairarapa United from the competition, a decision now under appeal, the result of which should be known by week's end.
