Fertile Fc

The men of the mighty Fertile FC are Neil, Rick, Nick, Jim, Ross and Yari. Neil G. Young narrates the opening and closing chapters. The other chapters are written by each of the men as they tell their stories in their own unique voices, filled with wit sometimes, humour always and sadness, sometimes too.

He is the writer and director of many short films including the award winning 'How to Win Friends ... and Kill People', which was selected for screening at the Sydney Fringe Festival and translated into seven languages.
