Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

I think when Johnny Warren died Foz tried to carry his mantle. Yet he comes across differently. Warren was an utter Aussie football tragic, alongside Led Murray who were kind of like prophets in the wilderness. Whereas when Foz does it, it seems wrapped in a kind of Sydneybcorporate HR dept lecturing tone, that is a turn off when when you agree with him.

Personally, and not to derail the thread, Foz was catapulted into fandom when he lead that campaign to free the footballer from Bahrain (and rightly so). I think he's still trying to cash in cheques from that moment, when it has well and truly passed.

Les/Johnny were about broader acceptance of the game within the Australian sporting landscape and psyche. Something I feel the likes of Graham Arnold were doing a better job of trying to campaign for that than what Foz was doing, playing identity politics which I think is a distraction.

Ultimately, the governments support for the game vis a vis other sports is piss-poor, and no Indigenous motifs on the shirt or representation from all ethnicities in the starting XI is going to fix that.

Did he have an ideological bent when it comes to football that annoyed people?

The only thing i remember about him is being passionate about the roos and wanting us to play attacking football regardless of the opponent

He lost respect with that Ange 'interview'...from memory early critical analysis of Brisbane Roar also turned into weekly tactical circle jerks.
 
Did anyone mention Ashley Maynard-Brewer? He was taken on a one-week emergency loan by his former club, Gillingham. Started between the posts on the weekend, conceded three goals, then back to Sheffield Wednesday. At least we now know his shoulder has recovered enough to play 90 minutes!!
