As the A-League hibernated for its ridiculously long six-month off-season, I turned my attention to other sports and worked with Guardian Australia on a series to look back at some historic moments in the nation’s glittering sport history. Here are a few of them:
The first Kangaroos tour of Great Britain (1908)
Nicky Winmar takes a stand against the racists (1993)
Shane Warne’s Ball of the Century (1993)
Australia win The Americas Cup (1983)
The Super League Wars (1994-1998)
The Socceroos qualify for the World Cup (2005)
Steven Bradbury wins a gold medal at the Winter Olympics (2002)
Australia at the Olympics (1896-2016)
