He goes, we're going home.

Stick to Football

So...

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

Football was very much, you know, really not a community.

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

It was semi-pro and it turned into kind of... It was the first code that went national in Australia because Australia is a massive country, as you know.

Stick to Football

So before Aussie rules, before rugby, football went national, but it was very much driven by the migrant communities.

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

So it was limited to that.

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

Like, so-called mainstream Australia just didn't accept football.

It wasn't in the papers, it wasn't on TV.

Stick to Football

So you tried to build it, but it wasn't.

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

It's always battled against the dominance of the other sports.

Stick to Football
Ange: Forest Regrets, Spurs Chaos & Beating United in Europe | Stick to Football 117

It kind of never sort of made the advances, but I think sort of around Viduka, Timmy, Cale, Harry, those kind of guys were coming through.

Stick to Football

They got really organised at institute level.

Stick to Football

What Australia's always been good at, it's always produced champion sportsmen in every sport, right?

Stick to Football
