Synopsis

In 1967, the Australian football team won their first international tournament - on a trip to Saigon at the height of the Vietnam War. The players survived gunfire, crowd trouble and monsoon conditions on their way to an unlikely win. Ashley Byrne speaks to former Australian footballers, Ray Baartz and Stan Ackerley. The programme is a Made in Manchester Production.(Photo: The 1967 Australian team. Courtesy: Stan Ackerley)
