Episode 10 - A Yank on the Footy
If you like the show, consider helping me out at Buy Me a Coffee . Also, if you are interested in any podcast gear, you can find it on my Redbubble page.
In this episode, I take a look at the financial struggles that the VFL faced in the 1980’s, and how the future Commissioner of the NBA played a small role in helping the VFL survive the 80’s which led to thriving today.
