The Legends of Football Function at ANZ Stadium

-

 


Harry was recently honoured amongst other leading football luminaries in this country at the Legends of Football function at ANZ Stadium (home of the Sydney Olympics) hosted by the Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club

The function recognised the major contributors to the game in Australia and in particular, Harry was singled out as being the only man brave enough to take a chance broadcasting the game here. In fact, in the first year of his rights deal, he personally funded the entire season! He was only permitted to broadcast the second half of matches because SBS (the host network) and the board of directors of Soccer Australia did not believe there was a television appetite for 90 minutes of football! So Harry had to film and produce an entire game only to have it literally cut in half. 

In attendance at the function were; Andy Paschalidis, Ian Holmes, Paul Wade (who Harry employed with Mike Cockerill and Andy Harper as commentators/hosts at Optus Vision and C7 when he was Director for Soccer) Les Scheinflug, Peter Katholos, Gary Phillips, Manfred Schaefer, Alan Davidson and Remo Nogarotto to name just a few.

Our bond grew stronger as I continued to take huge steps at SBS as we both worked on the National Soccer League competition as well as Socceroos international games and World Youth Cup tournaments. Harry’s experience in the industry is second to none. His eye for detail and delivery of product is ex...

Football in Australia

-
With the World Cup heading into the ‘business end’ of the tournament it’s an opportune time to reflect upon the state of football in this country.   There has been much talk of the performance of the national team; whether Tim Cahill should have seen more game time, are we benefiting from the Dutch coaching influence we’ve embraced for some years now; why can’t we score goals through general play etc.?    The fundamental question, as my friend Harry Michaels OAM likes to ask is; how do we best harness the enormous passion we have for the game, particularly at grass roots level? Harry’s knowledge of the game is beyond reproach.    By his own admission, he would have loved to have been a professional footballer, but wasn’t good enough.    So he applied his love, knowledge and desire to contribute to the growth of the game to the television broadcast of the code and, at administrative level for both Sydney Olympic and the Wollongong Wolves – very successf...
