Hi Larry,

Thanks for picking that up, we’ve since updated that in the story.

Not being a soccer fan myself (or any kind of sporting activity for that matter) I took the copy on the homepage of the Fox 8 show to imply that a second series hadn’t yet begun, as it reads: “FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR returns for its second series as a brand new search gets underway…” And then I also thought the winner mentioned was from the previous series. But again cheers for that, good spot!

Mumbrella – Camille

Cricket Australia have been touting this around for at least 2 years.

I get the feeling it’ll be similar to INXS continuing to find a new Michael Hutchence. Sure, they show promise, but once they realise they don’t have the same presence, they look for a new one.

There’ll never be another Warnie.
