Harry's love for Soccer
Entrepreneur and Media guru Harry Michaels is the first person to book a table for the SOCCEROOS CELEBRATION Dinner on SATURDAY MAY 26 at CHP RSL in support of Heartbeat of Football. Harry has had a big association with football and at one time bankrolled the old National Soccer League to ensure it's survival and continued coverage on National television via SBS.
I first met Harry in 1984. Within two years I would appear on the popular Soccerama TV show with Les Murray - one of many Harry's production company Zero1Zero delivered for SBS. In 1988 Harry was my best man when I married Jane. Les Murray and Steve Chilas were the other groomsmen. What a football selection!! Sadly we lost Les last year.
Harry first made a name for himself as Giovanni Lenzi in the huge 1970s TV hit NUMBER 96. That gave him the confidence and skill set to become a major media player. Even though football is his passion where he has spent millions as a club owner, president or TV producer / director his other lasting legacies are two-fold. AEROBICS OZ STYLE was a huge global hit broadcast in over 70 countries for many years while shows like LETS GO GREEK ENDAXI and others brought us wonderful stories from our parents homeland way before pay TV existed.
Will you join Harry, our MC Michael Tomalaris,
10 ex-Socceroos Lazaridis, Emerton, Katholos, Fraser, Kalantzis, Henderson, Bingley, Patikas, Covic, Nastevski, 1974 World Cup coach Rale Rasic and Matildas star Chloe Logarzo on May 26??? Email or PM me andy@heartbeatoffootball.com.au

Legends of Football
Wednesday, 18 April 2018
The Legends of Football function at ANZ Stadium (home of the Sydney Olympics) hosted by the Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club
Harry was recently honoured amongst other leading football
luminaries in this country at the Legends of Football function at ANZ Stadium
(home of the Sydney Olympics) hosted by the Western Sydney Wanderers Football
Club
The function recognised the major contributors to the game in Australia and in particular, Harry was singled out as being the only man brave enough to take a chance broadcasting the game here. In fact, in the first year of his rights deal, he personally funded the entire season! He was only permitted to broadcast the second half of matches because SBS (the host network) and t he board of directors of Soccer Australia did not believe there was a television appetite for 90 minutes of football! So Harry had to film and produce an entire game only to have it literally cut in half.
In attendance at the function were; Andy Paschalidis, Ian Holmes, Paul Wade (who Harry employed with Mike Cockerill and Andy Harper as commentators/hosts at Optus Vision and C7 when he was Director for Soccer) Les Scheinflug, Peter Katholos, Gary Phillips, Manfred Schaefer, Alan Davidson and Remo Nogarotto to name just a few.
