AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe is the untold story of Aboriginal involvement with the 'world game' in our nation's sporting history. The acceptance that Aboriginal players found within the post-World War II migrant communities had a profound impact on their lives... Interweaving personal stories and extensive research with links to the broader Indigenous world community, the book is a celebration of the extraordinary journey taken by Aboriginal sportsmen and women to forge the way ahead for the present talented players.

The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe: The Untold Story of Aboriginal Involvement with the World Game Lawrence Bamblett , 2012 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 1 2012; (p. 103-105)

— Review of The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe : A History of Aboriginal Involvement with the World Game John Maynard , 2011 selected work prose

'Indigenous Australian communities are blessed to have storytelling historians who share their humour, knowledge and insight about our people’s involvement with mainstream sports. In contrast, there are few established Indigenous historians writing in the small academic field of sports history. One of the few, Worimi historian John Maynard, has turned his attention to the subject of Indigenous participation in soccer. In The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe: A history of Aboriginal involvement with the world game, he shares stories about the contribution prominent Indigenous soccer players make to the game. By blurring the line between Indigenous storytelling and academic history, Maynard tells the reader more than the standard story about Aborigines in sport.'  (Introduction)
