Season 1
Episode 75
Published 4 months ago
Description
From the terraces of Manchester to the green and gold of Australia, this week on R2BW we dive into the remarkable football journey of Stan Ackerley. Once part of the orbit of Manchester United F.C., Ackerley’s path would eventually lead him across the world to represent the Australia men's national soccer team.
In this episode we explore how a player connected to one of England’s biggest clubs found a new footballing life in Australia, the state of the game in the post-war era, and how Ackerley’s story reflects the global roots of Australian soccer. From Old Trafford dreams to Socceroo caps, it’s a forgotten football tale worth telling.
