Three most influential people: Dave Kainey for introducing me to the world of footy across Asia. Scott Stacey and Mark Stennett for being key allies in establishing the Vietnam Swans and AFL Asia respectively.
Most significant year: 2009. (Now the late) Ex POWs Bill Haskell and Ernie Redman at the Thailand Tigers’ ANZAC Commemorative Match in Kanchanaburi (Thailand) and Australia’s Black Saturday Bushfires for showing me how footy in Asia can touch people’s lives in extraordinary ways.
How good’s footy in Asia!
