Description

How do a few British expats mad about watching sport decide to start a Brisbane outpost of the Barmy Army? We chat with George Gallantree, one of the founders of the ‘Brisbane Barmies’, about turning his lifelong passion for sport into a charity fundraising machine. We talk about George’s lifelong love of football and his bizarre encounters with some big clubs in his younger years — despite knowing pretty early that he wasn’t going to make it as a pro. A great listen about how it’s possible to make ‘being a sports fan’ into a huge and meaningful part of life.
