Reviews

The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe is an overdue and important book. It shines a high beam on the often poorly illuminated achievements of Indigenous soccer players who represented their clubs, states - and in many cases, their country - with distinction. The Australian Looking into the future, John plants front and centre the fact that soccer has, by definition, forgotten Aboriginal people in its zest for self-development. Individual clubs such as Port Thistle blindly supported us, because without us it would not have existed. Dominated by cricket and Australian Rules, migrants had to beg for playing space and were targeted by Australia's press. What brought us few players to soccer was often that our skills were transferred from Aussie Rules when we were driven away from that code. We chose migrants because they respected us. Professor Gordon Briscoe, AO
