Joe Gorman on David Hill's attempted shoving of the NSL into the 'mainstream'
This article is, I think, a well researched and balanced look back at the mid 1990s attempt at de-ethnicising Australian soccer. A bit Sydney centric, but very interesting - and good to see someone analysing the multicultural factors more thoroughly then I'm used to seeing.

A few notes on comments.
We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.
Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.

What a great piece, something that every football in this country should read.
ReplyDeleteI've got to say my hate for David Hill and George Negus still burns strong. What a disgraceful period in the history of Australian football.
