UPDATE: 1970 District Premier League Results file (sort of) completed. The close to complete archive of Soccer News delivering a near-perfect coverage of the District Leagues that year, though the final issue was published with two rounds remaining. ozfootball.net/ark/States/VI…
Langwarrin, Fitzroy Azzurri, Fawkner Lazio, Pascoe Vale and Melton are five clubs where the goals are confirmed. None of the clubs in the West had any soccer coverage in the local papers @MarkBoric has scanned, while the Pines had great junior coverage, seniors, not so much.
UPDATE: 1973 Provisional and District League Results files completed. Comprehensive coverage from Allsport Weekly delivers the goods, revealing a host of postponed and abandoned fixtures, and the results of several replays. Only two results not found. ozfootball.net/ark/States/VI…
Without delving through The Herald and The Sun archives, it's likely that Allsport Weekly was the only publication to comprehensively cover the Sunday District Leagues in 1973. Released on a Thursday every week, it was rare that it didn't have between 4-6 pages devoted to soccer.
Mike Sheahan, is that you?
When Fagan was appointed Senior Coach almost a decade ago the Lions were a basket case and in no way a destination club. He didn't fit the script but he elevated the club to a period of unfathomable success. An AFL Hall of Famer if ever there was one, a legend in time. 🙏🦁🏆🏆🏆
Another top-flight #NPLVIC season in the can. There is an inherent satisfaction that comes with publishing one of these every year. Thanks to the brilliant work from John Punshon, we virtually have a complete season summary from 1976 to the present day. ozfootball.net/ark/States/VI…
This really is the NSL circa 1994 isn't it?

First independent song to reach #1 in the UK, and still 4AD's highest selling single. Gets a run often when cleaning the house.
Alan Davidson: "Survivor of multiple near-death experiences." Buy a lottery ticket my man.
INCREDIBLE 🙌🇦🇺 Socceroos great Alan Davidson survived a massive heart attack that would've killed men half his age. Why? 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥..
He's still playing at 67. And doctors say its the only reason he's still alive.
You'd think a near death experience would slow him down. Instead, he's aiming to be back on the pitch in a month 💪
