Listen Later

It's one of the most celebrated dates in the pages of Australia's recent football history: November 16, 2005. A night when an electric Olympic Park featured banners in the quality of Homer Simpson obliviously joking "Hehehe - U R Gay", and when John Aloisi sent tingles down the spines of all those who watched on by slotting a decisive penalty to send Australia to the World Cup for the first time in 32 years.Special guest Josip Skoko - a 51-capped Socceroo who was nervously standing arm-in-arm with teammates during that penatly shootout - kindly joined the pod to reminisce on that fateful night and the campaign that followed, while also discussing his work alongside others of that "Golden Generation" to progress the development of football in Australia.It's also fittingly the finale of this podcast's first season - Bodey & Niall look forward to bringing you more quality football features on a semi-regular basis over the coming weeks and months. Start- 5.25: Intro5.31 - 32.05: Josip Skoko32.10 - End: Outro
