No-one has been better qualified to reflect on Australian football's past and present, and reveal strategies for its future success than the late Johnny Warren. Despite being rejected when he was nine by his local under-12s team because he was 'too small and needed to go home and eat more porridge', he later went on to lead the Socceroos as captain and vice captain through three World Cup campaigns, from 1964-1974. He witnessed every stage of Australian football for over 50 Years, from the days you were called a 'sheila' 'Wog' or 'Poofter' if you played football to today, where players such as Harry Kewell are celebrated in Australia and prized by overseas clubs.
