Go Behind the Scenes with the Socceroos World Cup Hero

Get inside access into the life of Socceroos and Sydney FC goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne with A-Leagues All Access

Last week's A-Leagues All Access is a must watch as the cameras catch up with Andrew Redmayne whose penalty shootout heroics spearheaded the Socceroos’ qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Sydney FC shot stopper was responsible for another momentous slice of Australian football history that many may argue is on par with John Aloisi’s match-winning penalty against Uruguay in 2005.

It was Redmayne’s unorthodox yet extremely effective style of shot stopping which led to him being called upon in extra time by Graham Arnold to take part in the do or die penalty shootout against Peru back in June.

Nicknamed the ‘Grey Wiggle’ for his unusual style of in penalty shootouts, Redmayne endeared himself to all Australian fans with his quite outlandish style that proved too much to handle for the Peruvians.

He went viral around the world as fans celebrated the Socceroos’ World Cup qualification but on the flip side, he caught the ire of every Peruvian and has since become public enemy number one in the South American country.

Believe

A pre-game bust up between retiring Melbourne City captain Scott Jamieson and Central Coast Mariners’ athletic and vibe manager, ex-Socceroo Andy Bernal lights the fuse for an explosive decider.

It’s the two Isuzu UTE A-League sides whose bold backing of local youth has sensationally paid off, leaving them one win away from a Grand Final. A record home Central Coast Mariners crowd creates an electric atmosphere, in this rough-and-tumble encounter with Adelaide United. Coaches Nick Montgomery and Carl Veart ride every emotion as former players of their respective clubs, with the All Access crew capturing the key addresses and moments from both change rooms.

Bad Blood

It was the first ever Sydney derby final and sparks were ignited on the pitch and inside the change rooms. ‘Bad Blood’ includes unseen footage of Western Sydney attacker Milos Ninkovic’s bust up with his former mentor, Sydney FC coach Steve Corica, in the bowels of CommBank Stadium, before he was frogmarched out of his former change room.

The Future

The scrutiny is on the youngster who just became the latest Socceroos debutant and has been billed as one of the rising stars of the Isuzu UTE A-League. Gamer, prankster, dancer, Joe Gauci’s myriad personalities underline the stereotype that goalkeepers march to the beat of a different drum. ‘The Future' is a heart-warming story of the local product and football-obsessed kid who’s broken into the team he supported, and is now coached by his boyhood idol. It captures Gauci lining up for United in the week following his senior international debut, up against fellow Socceroo, Andrew Redmayne of Sydney FC.

Adored by junior fans, Akbari also shares a touching family moment after Roar’s win over Western United, where he plays a key role having broken into the team since the arrival of new coach Nick Green.

Away From Home

Few kids get to live out their childhood sporting dream. England-capped Carl Jenkinson did it for one of the biggest teams in perhaps the most popular football competition in the world. In ‘Away From Home’ Arsenal FA Cup winner Jenkinson reveals the story of how he was signed by legendary manager Arsene Wenger and what it felt like to live out his boyhood dream 93 times, after joining from Charlton Athletic. The Newcastle Jets star also has a humorous video exchange with his close pal, ex-Gunners teammate and current Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whilst entertaining his UK friends, whose holiday itinerary don’t align with his football schedule

No Simple Path

Midfielder Grace Maher has been a beneficiary of the trailblazing impact of her hometown Liberty A-League club Canberra United. ‘No Simple Path’ profiles the Matildas 2023 FIFA World Cup contender, who possesses one of the most lethal left feet in Australia and has a penchant for scoring long bombs. Ambitious and conscious of her role promoting the game within her community, the episode uncovers how Maher signed for the club she supported just weeks after a freak injury as a ballkid, which was followed by an Liberty A-League record which still stands.

The Way It Is

Mathew Leckie’s star has exploded since his stunning FIFA World Cup performances. But the boy from Brimbank Stallions and Bulleen Lions has not changed. “The Way It Is” follows Leckie since his return from Qatar and while everyone around him is excited after his stunning solo Socceroos goal, the bustling attacker remains unfazed by his global feats, or acquiring the shirt of France megastar Kylian Mbappe. The episode is the most in-depth look at Leckie on and off the pitch, and explores how his family struggled to settle in Australia after Germany, and also conveys the respect he’s held in by Melbourne City teammates and coaching staff of the Isuzu UTE A-League club. It also captures the moment Leckie tore his hamstring last week, and how City reacted

Mr. Normal

Sydney FC goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne became an Australian sporting icon after his penalty shoot-out heroics against Peru secured the Socceroos’ berth for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Only years earlier, the Isuzu UTE A-League fringe player almost gave the game away. “Mr Normal” shows how Redmayne’s world has turned with a famous penalty save, with ‘The Grey Wiggle’ becoming an honourary member of Australia’s most popular kids entertainment group. Yet Redmayne remains the same humble, well-mannered young man. He reveals the famous bottle that he turfed in the shootout, and how it “went against every moral fibre” in his body.
