Be My Guest: Football Superstars in Australia

Be My Guest is a tribute to the many football superstars who have played club football in Australia as well as the simple elegant but often flawed logic that bringing football superstars to Australia will provide a turbo boost to Australias domestic football competition - whether that be the NSL or the A-League.From Australias first guest star in Alex Sandy Young who went to Tongala from Everton in 1914 through to household names such as Ossie Ardiles Trevor Francis Bobby Moore Nicola Berti and George Best authors Jason Goldsmith and Lucas Gillard recount the background and steps to get the superstars here and how the players fans and competition benefited - or in some instances didnt.It is a book that will bring fond memories for those who remember the players and the times as well as a welcome addition to Australian football and social history that serves as a reminder of what or who worked as a marketing strategy and who didnt.
