'Set in the western suburbs of Sydney, Footy Legends tells the story of a young Vietnamese-Australian man with an obsession about football. Out of work and with welfare authorities threatening to take away Luc Vu's sister, he reunites his old high school football team to win a competition that could change all their lives.' (National Film and Sound Archives record)
