Testimonials

"Anthony has contributed widely to the discourse on football in Australia, including via an outstanding research document relating to the advantages of small-sided games as part of Australia's drive to improve the technical quality of our players, as well as on a broad range of issues regarding Football Federation Australia, the A-League and various issues of pertinence. His passion for the game is evident and is well coupled with an inquisitive mind and the ability to explore an issue with a common touch. I read his work, and that's the highest commendation I can give."

"Anthony consistently performs at an exceptionally high level with a keen sense of analysis and inquiry. He has a natural enthusiasm, which translates, in a teaching/mentoring situation into inspiration and engagement. He always succeeds in inspiring his colleagues and volunteers, and managing a large number of complicated situations with effectiveness and calm. No job is ever too difficult."

"Anthony Siokos has always impressed me with his willingness to think outside the square and look beneath the surface of issues. He appreciates the importance of critical thought and personal investigation when too often others are prepared to just go with the flow or prepared to believe whatever they read, is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable student of the world game (a true football intellectual never stops learning or wanting to learn) and is someone whose moral support throughout my own sometimes controversial writing career has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated."
Jesse Fink
Author, 15 Days in June: How Australia Became a Football Nation

"[Anthony] has been particularly impressive when the challenges presented to him required acts of creativity or the need to display problem solving skills. What is significant is that it is unusual to find both academic excellence and this range of personal and interpersonal skills in one person."
Professor Michael King
ACPE

"Anthony has passion, commitment, a capacity for analysis and unbounded energy for the world game. Enjoy looking around this site."
