Growing up in Old Swan, Woodhall Road, tight terraced houses, not as many cars as you see today parked on the side, so you had a bit more space outside my ma's house.

And it's kind of a, I suppose it's a hybrid between, it's using a footy, but for a different game, which...

I'm presuming most of the listeners will know it's Kirby.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so you're playing different versions of Kirby but with a footy.

So you'd have a football and you'd obviously play Kirby.

I'm presuming if you don't know what it is, you're trying it to Kirby.

It comes back.

If you catch it, you get bonus points.

The ultimate is if you do it, you can hit that curb, it bounces back and hit this curb.

It's like you're the king of the street.

So there's a bit of that.

And then where I grew up, we lived in the next row to my nan.

So we were Woodall and I lived in Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald Road from Old Swan goes right along and there's a BT kind of factory at the end of the road.

It's weird because it's like in the middle of all the terraced houses in the state.

But next to the block, the building, was one of them painted goals, you know, on a wall.

So it was a wall and it was a little bit of a space

And I think there's a lad, I think he's either been on The Wrap, or The Wrap have definitely featured him on something, has done a project called Urban Goals, and he's done, like, a project where he's took pictures, he's gone round all the best, and the one by Where I Grew Up featured on it, I think it was, like, it got into the top ten, but...

I think it votes, and it was just there, playing footy there with, you know, as a six-, seven-, eight-year-old, just playing footy with schoolmates, and then, like, the older lads would come and rub your ball.

You'd play three and in, heads and volleys, all that.
