Joe Gorman > Quotes

“Whichever way you look at it, the story of soccer in Australia is not a happy one. It is as a vast mess of shattered dreams, colonised tribes and forgotten heroes, splayed out like a Jackson Pollock painting across the landscape of Australian history. It is a story that haunts rather than comforts. 'There are a lot of broken people in the game,' Michael Cockerill once said. 'Yet it's still the sport with the most blue sky in Australia. Even after everything, it's still only scratched the surface'.”
― Joe Gorman, The Death and Life of Australian Soccer
