"Noddy - The Untold Story" - Of Adrian Alston, the former striker.
Adrian belongs to the special group of Australian football players who
defied all odds to become the first team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
In Noddy: the Untold Story of Adrian Alston, author Philip Micallef tells the
story of the flamboyant striker who lit up the local football scene after
moving from England to Australia in the late 1960s.
Adrian looks back on a career that took him from his hometown of Preston
in northern England, to the little ground of Woonona on the NSW south
coast, to the imperial Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
But as much as Alston enjoyed scoring goals, he has received as much
satisfaction from his post-football career working with people with
an intellectual disadvantage.
As a 1974 Socceroo, Adrian Alston is a true legend of the game, and
Philip Micallef's book ensures that Noddy's exploits for Australia are not forgotten.
