Craig Foster (@Craig_Foster) is a former Socceroos captain, SBS Chief Football Analyst and a renowned global advocate for diversity and social harmony.

I was absolutely overjoyed when he accepted my invitation to have a chat about football and human rights.

Growing up as a football fan, SBS's coverage of the game was my authority. Craig Foster, along with the late Les Murray and Johnny Warren have been very influential figures covering Australian football in the media.

Craig reminisces over World Cup memories, from when he saw his first tournament as a boy growing up in regional NSW to being on-the-ground for SBS during the Socceroos roller coaster Germany 2006 World Cup campaign.

We talk about his football philosophy. how he would like the game to develop and reach its potential in Australia.

Craig then shares insight on global sports governance and the intersection of sport with human rights. We conclude with an update on his current work in this important field.

This is a must-listen episode for Australian football fans and those with an interest in human rights.
