David Weiner's last Roar article was in 2009 as a Roar Rookie. In 2024, he returns spruiking a book that helped rekindle the same romantic optimism he had for the sport back then, as he tries to keep pace with his seven-year-old son's football fandom. In between, you may have read, watched or listened to his work at Fox Sports, Optus Sport and the A-Leagues.

Hoping so, Kyle.
This book was written specifically after finishing my last role. I love the Australian footballing universe, as weird, wacky and complex as it is.

Thanks very much, David – keep up the great work yourself.
Grem I think adults can definitely enjoy a fun walk down memory lane. Hoping to get it into some schools, and make reading a bit more accessible.

The book does come with a warning that there are as many lows, as there are highs 😂
