''Be My Guest'' is a tribute to the many football superstars who have played club football in Australia, as well as the simple, elegant but often flawed logic that bringing football superstars to Australia will provide a turbo boost to Australia''s domestic football competition - whether that be the NSL or the A-League.
From Australia''s first guest star in Alex ''Sandy'' Young who went to Tongala from Everton in 1914, through to household names such as Ossie Ardiles, Trevor Francis, Bobby Moore, Nicola Berti and George Best, authors Jason Goldsmith and Lucas Gillard recount the background and steps to get the superstars here, and how the players, fans and competition benefited - or, in some instances, didn''t.
It is a book that will bring fond memories for those who remember the players and the times, as well as a welcome addition to Australian football and social history that serves as a reminder of what, or who, worked as a marketing strategy and who didn''t.
