“A fascinating insight into the bond between Puskás and Postecoglou.”
Ange & The Boss
Puskás in Australia
Ange and The Boss tells the improbable story of all-time great Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskás finding himself in Melbourne in the late 80s, coaching the Greek NSL team South Melbourne Hellas.
Barely able to speak English and comedically overweight, he united and inspired the team to a dramatic championship win in 1991. Eating, drinking, and enjoying himself along the way.
It’s a sports documentary, but it’s also a film about life in Australia. It’s about immigrant identity and belonging, gluttonous pasta consumption, and the broken window winder in Ange Postecoglou’s Datsun 200B.
“You have to see this film!”
“Genuinely astonishing, beautifully nostalgic and bloody funny. A pearler of a film.”
“More than a sports story. I didn’t know such odd and wonderful things had gone down in my own backyard.”
“There are a lot of funny moments, some of which will have you doubled up in laughter. We were in uproar in the cinema.”
“IT’s a migrant story, it’s a football story, it’s a human story. I just loved it.”

“The vignettes of archive footage are simply delightful.”
