Mark van Aken Editor-In-Chief DON'T MISS ISSUE SIX! ITYS MAGAZINE 3 The match against East Germany was to be my last international for Australia. I was aware that my time in the green and gold was running out but I had thought I had at least three games at the World Cup left in me. To finish like I did was not how anyone wants their international career to end and I’m still disappointed about it. But after the tournament there was also a sense of relief. All the team was given a couple of days off in Berlin after the Chile game and I realised how long it had been since I had enjoyed some time just to relax. The team didn’t hold any special group celebrations after we were knocked out because we had been together for so long that everyone felt the need to split up and go their own separate ways for a while. We had spent more than a month in close proximity to each other and by that stage we all needed some time apart. I simply decided to go out to dinner in Berlin with Manfred and we visited a few clubs later that night and had a few drinks. We didn’t indulge in any wild celebrations and I was content to sit back and relax. The next day I wandered around Berlin and explored the city with Manfred, Ray Richards, Ernie Campbell and Dr Corrigan. The simple pleasure of the beautiful sights of Berlin and having a day free from football made the day particularly wonderful. The World Cup had been such a long campaign and taken so much out of me, both physically and emotionally, that I finally had time to reflect on whether I wanted to keep playing. - Johnny Warren MBE, OAM I TOLDFrom 'Sheilas, Wogs & Poofters' courtesy YOUof Random House PublishingSO I TOLD YOU SO EDITORIALEARLY DOORS Spurs’ Benoit Assou-Ekotto is confident that ex-Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor will be welcomed Tottenham. the txt msg interview THE w.

  • Funding Sport Fairly an Income-Contingent Loans Scheme for Elite Sports Training
    THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE Funding Sport Fairly An income-contingent loans scheme for elite sports training Background Australian taxpayers spent more than $97 million on elite sportspeople in 2001-2002 (ASC 2002). A significant proportion of this expenditure went on providing Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) ‘scholarships’ to 673 athletes and grants to national sporting bodies for their elite athlete programs (ASC 2002). Major expenses associated with assistance to elite sportspeople include the provision of training facilities (such as swimming pools and playing fields), coaching, medical advice and international and domestic travel costs associated with competition. While there is no doubt that the Commonwealth Government has a role to play in encouraging excellence in all fields of human endeavour, be they sporting, educational or artistic, there is an important equity issue associated with providing taxpayer funded training to individuals who go on to earn millions of dollars per year from their sporting prowess. As shown in Table 1, sportspeople who make it to the top of some sports earn extremely high incomes. For some, sporting success while young can also be translated into high incomes in later life either through sponsorship, public speaking or commentary positions. Many would question the fairness of a system that delivers huge incomes to a handful of elite sporting stars; but that is how the sports market works. However, there are good grounds for taking action to recover some of the publicly funded costs of training sportspeople who go on to earn very high incomes. In order to address this issue it is proposed that the Government introduce a HECS- type scheme whereby those sportspeople who go on to earn high incomes would be required to repay the costs incurred in the public provision of their training and development.

  • Jon Pillemer Farewelled in Fitting Style
    This week, the Hakoah Feds family pay tribute to Jon Pillemer, whilst the Youth battled out a double-header against Schofields Scorpions and Mt. Druitt Rangers. We also get the next teammates edition from First Grade Scout Dino. Jon Pillemer Farewelled in Fitting Style Not many, if any, have given more to the Hakoah football club than Jon Pillemer. Over his 25-year career, he devoted a decade to the Hakoah cause, and was an inspiration both on and off the pitch. Sadly, Pillemer was forced to call time on his illustrious career through a hip injury suffered at the beginning of this season. Prior to that, he had still been training pre-season with the Hakoah Feds First Grade, a side that is yet to drop a point in the league. So on Sunday at the Hensley fortress, where Pillemer helped Hakoah win their first Grand Final in six years last season, hundreds flocked to farewell Pillemer in his testimonial match. The game was held between the teammates and legends of Maccabi-Hakoah, up against a host of former Socceroos and National League players that had played with Pillemer over the years. The team sheets looked as follows: Maccabi Hakoah All-Stars 1 Andrew Prentice 1 Jose Bello Amigo 2 Russel Pillemer 2 Alex Tobin (c) 3 Hayden Foxe 3 Craig Sharpley 4 Gareth Martin 4 Eric Hristodoulou 5 Joe Vrkic 5 Craig Foster 6 Marc Robertson 6 Steve Karavatakis 7 Jonny Pillemer (c) 7 Jon Bonovoglia 8 Brad Maloney 8 David Zdrilic 9 Michael Pillemer 9 Jon Kosmina 10 Kimon Taliadoros 10 Peter Katholos 11 Richard Johnson 11 Francis Awaritefe 12 Hadley Missell

Have a say in how your club is run, make your club better for your children. President’s Report I have been involved with the club now for 10 years and for 8 of those years as club President. It has been a personal goal of mine (and I know of the committee) to ensure that for every season, at least one of the teams win a grand championship. For as long as Vince Wyatt’s can remember (and that’s 44 unbroken years with our club) we have always won at least one Grand Championship. Accordingly I have always felt that pressure to ensure this unbroken chain of success continues. This season, unfortunately, none of our teams managed to hold the grand champions trophy high on grand final day. Whilst I was (heart) broken on the day, strangely enough, I look back on the season now and see so many other victories that help bring a certain sense of contentment about what we have achieved.
