His two books include his 100 best stories & a biography of 1974 #Socceroo. We love both. 😊📚⚽️ www.fairplaypublishing.com.au/collections/... #booksky

Happy Australia Day everyone. We certainly can do things a bit better but it’s still a great country and I’m so lucky and privileged to call it my home for the last 44 years.

Atalanta fall behind in Bergamo v Juventus. Big test of their mettle.

What a game! Western win it 4-3 at the death. @aleaguenews.bsky.social

Victory respond with another cracking goal to lead 3-2. @aleaguemen.bsky.social

What a brilliant counter-attack from Western United. This is a seriously good football A-League match.

Enjoying this @aleaguemen.bsky.social match between Victory and Western. As I have often said, the competition standard is pretty decent. There are two or three poor sides but most teams play the type of football that deserves better crowds.

Happy New Year everybody. And please be careful this NYE.

It’s that time of the year so here are my football tips for 2025. A) Socceroos forced into WC playoff. B) Melb Victory win A-League. C) @Liverpool land UCL/EPL double. D) Atletico Madrid win La Liga. E) Harry Kane snares a trophy. F) Manchester Utd survive relegation scrap.

Wishing all my friends, acquaintances and followers a merry and safe Christmas. And let’s remember that it feels much better to focus on the things that unite us rather than on those that divide us (not an original quote but I like it).

A perfect #Christmas gift for #youngadults! 'Making It...Or Not' by Amy Schembri dives into the real and relatable highs and lows of a professional football career. Not hitting bookstores until 01/25, but you can get it from us right now.

From John Aloisi to Cortnee Vine, be inspired by 'The Goals That Changed Australia'. Give your kids a bit of #football #history this #festiveseason - and be inspired once again by our game yourself! A read that oozes excitement, #backstories, and passion on every page.

It seems to me - and I could be wrong - that the football family has not embraced @bsky.app yet. If this platform is meant to be an alternative to the other cesspool we should work harder to get more football people and organisations involved.

True story: Mbappe and Salah both miss a penalty in the same match. @uefachampions.bsky.social

Liverpool far too good for Real atm … but Madrid being Madrid … @uefachampions.bsky.social
