Fri Fix: Will it be Sydney or Auckland who make A-Leagues history?

About this episode

The episode discusses the historic A-League final between Sydney FC and Auckland FC, along with notable AFL games.

Sydney FC v Auckland FC might not have been the A-League Men’s grand final that fans expected, but history will be made regardless. The Sky Blues are hoping to be the first Australian team to win a title on New Zealand soil, and the Black Knights want to be the first Kiwi team to win it at all. Add to that the fact that the Knights are coached by a former Sydney FC legend? Spicy. In the AFL Scott Pendlebury will play game 433 but in case you missed it, there are other games too and some of them have serious significance.
