May 25. A #truebeliever sort of day. 28 years ago, #BrisbaneStrikers won the NSL grand final, an achievement some saw as a portent of the #ALeague. A few days ago, #Spurs with #BigAnge, 'Mike' Jedinak & Nick Montgomery in charge won #EuropaLeague. Overnight, 3 Aussie women helped win the #UCL. 👏🏼😍⚽️

Unsung #football history. 'Green and Golden Boots' by Jason Goldsmith celebrates Aussie strikers who topped goal charts overseas. Some of them (e.g. the cover) are household names, some are not. But they all have amazing stories. buff.ly/LOWJVWP

Thanks April. I really enjoyed doing the interview.
An interesting interview with my friend & fellow #pvfc fan @aussie-davep.bsky.social about why people support the team that they do.
Worth a listen, and Dave’s book isn’t bad either 😉

Why do we love the #team we love? That's the question behind @ aussie-davep@bsky.social book 'Football Fans in their own write'. Have a listen to David speaking with David Astle of the ABC on that question, and how he got #PopeFrancis to contribute to the book: buff.ly/4psfPqY #footballfandom

In 1922, Australia played its first official international. More than one hundred years on, the journey continues. 'Burning Ambition' tells the story.

In 2023, we published two anthologies. One was 'Football Fans in their own write' in which @aussie-davep.bsky.social asked 29 contributors to write about why they love #football. One was Pope Francis. We share the extract from the book (from his Lay Encyclical on Sport). buff.ly/fipwTOY
