Book excerpt: It's 16 November 2005. An unbearably tense penalty shootout to determine whether Australia or Uruguay will claim a place in the World Cup finals is reaching its climax. As John Aloisi takes a few steps back from the penalty spot, the Socceroos are weighed down by 32 years of failure. Eighty - three thousand people at Stadium Australia - and a few million others around the country - hold their breath. Could this really be the moment? In That Night, Fox Sports presenter and football journalist Adam Peacock recounts the amazing background to one of Australian sport's truly unforgettable events. It's a story not just of an epic encounter with Uruguay, but of the three dismal decades that preceded it - decades defined by bureaucratic infighting and incompetence and a string of sometimes heroic, sometimes simply humiliating defeats. The players themselves - and Dutch super - coach Guus Hiddink - explain why this time it was different. How they managed to smash the seven - time hoodoo and ultimately reinvigorate the world game in Australia. The success of the A - League, the Socceroos regularly qualifying for the World Cup finals and winning the Asian Cup, interest in football at an all - time high - it all began on a November evening in 2005 as a single sweet strike from Aloisi's left boot entered Australian sporting folklore. It all changed, That Night.

Book excerpt: Wednesday, November 16, 2005. 80,000 people at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, millions around the country couldn’t believe what they had witnessed. The Socceroos, after a 32 year wait had qualified for World Cup. 32 years of heartache, despair, and a sleeping giant of Australian sport continuingly falling into a deeper and deeper sleep thanks to infighting and incompetence was awake. After 2 hours in Sydney, and 90 minutes in the seething atmosphere of Montevideo 4 days earlier, Mark Schwarzer’s giant hands and John Aloisi’s magical left foot allowed Australia to sneak past Uruguay in a penalty shootout – the worst and best way to end a contest of this magnitude. That Night isn’t just about a game of football though. It delves into the story of why we had to wait 32 years, talking to the players who lived through those nightmares. Losing to New Zealand in 1981, Scotland in 1985, a Maradona-inspired Argentina in 1993 and our most haunting nightmare, Iran in 1997. The players that were on the field That Night tell their stories like never before of how they got to that moment, what their role in the success on That Night was. It wasn’t simply a case of showing up to play 2 games against Uruguay. This was the culmination of a career spent mainly away from these shores to get somewhere in the world’s biggest sport. Kewell, Aloisi, Viduka, Emerton, Culina, Grella, Bresciano, Popovic, Vidmar, Skoko. Who knows were the sport would be if we didn’t get to the World Cup. Certainly nowhere near where it is now. The Socceroos got the attention, Australia got worldwide recognition at the 2006 World Cup, the A League grew, marquee names eventually made their way to play here, professionalism and corporate interest went to new levels, far, far removed from the days of struggle pre-2005, when the A League started. It all changed, That Night.

Produced by the Australian Society for Sports History, this is the first authoritative and encyclopedic reference work on all sports played in Australia.

The Companion offers succinct and informative entries on famous sportsmen and women, and on major institutions, competitions and venues. The Companion also offers thematic essays on crucial aspects of the history, culture and professionalization of sport in Australia. For the first time readers have access to biographies of sporting champions from different codes, all of whom rub shoulders in this literary pantheon. For the second edition, the editors have commissionedfour major new thematic essays: Coaching, Disabled Sportsmen and Women, Regionalism, and the Olympic Winter Games. Seven more sports have been added (badminton, bicycle racing, curling, fives, petanque, ring bowls, and surfing), along with 38 additional clubs. The second edition boasts 240 new biographies. One of its major features is a `list of lists', which provides full details about major competitions such as the Stawell Gift, Davis Cup finals, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, the Sheffield Shield, Brownlow Medallists - to name just a few of the lists contained in this Appendix. Greatly expanded and offering a readable cultural history of Australian sport, the Oxford Companion to Australian Sport is essential reading for sportsmen and women, administrators, journalists and sports followers.

Book excerpt: FIFA, the world governing body of association football, declared 'The Future is Feminine' in a 1995 press release. Since then, football has been claimed as the fastest growing participation sport for women globally. An estimated twenty million women play the game around the world, and that figure is on the rise. However, the history of women's participation goes back to at least 1895 and in our enthusiasm for the present, the memory of that longer history can be overlooked or forgotten.A Beautiful Game examines contemporary women's football internationally, with case studies from England, the United States, China and Australia. In each case study, Jean Williams considers the evolution of the women's game against a backdrop of issues, such as media representation, access to facilities, lack of resources, coaching, sponsorship, talent identification, training and professionalisation. The author examines contentious questions, such as why women are absent from the highest levels of professional football, combining source material from archives, oral history and artefacts.A Beautiful Game analyses the status and image of the women's game from the late nineteenth century to the shifting social values of the present.

Download or read book Australian Sport written by Kristine Toohey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia is only a small player in the world’s political and economic landscapes, yet, for many decades, it has been considered to be a global powerhouse in terms of its sporting successes. In conjunction with this notion, the nation has long been portrayed as having a preoccupation with sport. This labelling has been seen as both a blessing and a curse. Those who value a Bourdieuian view of culture bemoan sport’s centrality to the national imagination and the consequent lack of media coverage, funding and prestige accorded to the arts. Other scholars question whether the popular stereotype of the Australian sportsperson is, in fact, a myth and that instead Australians are predominantly passive sport consumers rather than active sport participants. Australian sport, through its successes on the field of play and in advancing sport coaching and management, has undergone a revolution, as both an enabler of global processes and as subject to its influences (economic, political, migratory etc.). This book will examine the shifting place of Australian sports in current global and local environs, from the perspective of spectators, players and administrators. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Book excerpt: The best sports stories written by Australia's best sportswriters uncover the hilarity, triumphs, sadness, excitement and controversy of our sport-mad nation. For years journalists have been eyewitnesses to athletes - from the elite to downtrodden - chasing, achieving or falling short of their dreams. They have observed, chronicled and attempted to find the secrets to winning and losing. For some, sport may be a meaningless diversion. For most, it is life's most important punctuation mark. In this book the formidable Fairfax stable of fine writing thoroughbreds explains why. Roy Masters explores the heart and soul of rugby league. Peter Roebuck and Malcolm Knox provide a fresh look at the confusion of cricket. Richard Hinds focuses on the moment which won the Sydney Swans an AFL premiership. Jacquelin Magnay exposes a grubby cycling world. Jessica Halloran reveals the tense father-daughter relationship in the Dokic tennis family. Michael Cockerill tussles with Harry Kewell. Max Presnell recalls when Amarillo Slim took on those at the City Tatts club. Greg Bearup dissects Khoder Nasser's world and Peter Stone puts Tiger Woods in his place. On the journey to find the reasons why sport is a religion, an obsession to so many, there's revelations, hilarity, triumphs, sadness, excitement, pathos, tribulation, controversy, moments of sheer stupidity and episodes of bravery. Most importantly like sport itself, this collection is always entertaining.
