Bill Shorten either reads the foz or at least had a clue as he has called for the Bloke to get a state funeral
what exactly are we gonna say to Craig Foster or the entire commentary team at Fox that's nice though???
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Fitting the bloke is getting a state funeral
On another note have the FFA had anything to say about Les??
Because I seen words from Turnbull Shorten and the Beak and every other celebrity
I ain't seen anything yet from Lowy or Gallop??
Read more at http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/...ljQeV8Feq7X.99“Les turned the term “the world game” into a reality for millions of Australians. He had unmatched passion along with his great friend the late Johnny Warren MBE OAM for what football could be and how to take it there, " said Gallop.

Id say even blokes as cocooned as Shorten and Turnbull would be well aware of who Les was and what he was about. But yeah the PR dept was def scouring wikipedia for some info.
As for Gallop, this is one area where i rate him. he obviously didnt know Les all that well to treat him as a BFF so he didnt roll out the crocodile tears to put himself front and centre. He just acknowledged it from an FFA position then got out of the way to let Les' real mates and fans have their say. Gallop has always come from a place of awkward honesty in times like this. I think its a good thing.
Foz played in England's first division when it was probably the world's third-best league.
Yes, he was also voted into Palace's all-time worst XI, but he played at a far higher level than most Australians and was a Socceroo midfielder when the competition was very strong.
As for managing, his work with Nerds FC is legendary.
Foz cops it sometimes I think because for a while there Spanish football was the be all and end all of his football views, and sometimes he just comes over as a bit "smug".
He knows his stuff though.
How about this vid of Les on Facebook...
