This game was one of my best childhood memories. My younger brother was one of the kids allowed to side near the sidelines, because the stadium was packed to the rafters. Wild!
Kevin Keegan was one of Europe’s great players of the 70’s, sadly passed overnight. Young, or new Australian football fans might not know that he played several exhibition games in the old National Soccer League (NSL) in 1985 for Blacktown City. He was just 34 years old. One was against my old club, Sydney Croatia, with a talented young striker named Jimmy Patikas who would represent Australia and excel in the Greek first division with AEK Athens, and later Socceroos coach, Graham Arnold. A full house turned out at Marconi Stadium, Sydney for the match. Good memories of a sporting legend and twice Ballon d’Or winner, and his contribution to the history of Australian football. youtu.be/-TnRjP_WhSo?si=bQfw… youtu.be/-TnRjP_WhSo?si=iTKM… via @YouTube
