Football Belongs: Australia's Football Identity

Ep. 6 - First Nations People: John Moriarty's quest | The failures of a nation and a game | Giving voice to Aboriginal Australians


Listen Later

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.
