  • Summary

  • Ros Moriarty and Travis Dodd are the special guests on this episode of Football Belongs, as they join John Didulica and David Davutovic to have a powerful conversation about:


    • The outrageous notion of Aussie football superstar John Moriarty being selected to represent his country - before being allowed to vote
    • An unheralded role football and its migrant communities played in embracing the First Nations people
    • The Socceroos’ 1960 tour of South-East Asia - and why it was cancelled
    • Difficulties faced by Indigenous culture and football culture in gaining legitimacy and acceptance in mainstream Australia.


    Produced & edited by Lucas Perry, Optus Sport.
