Plot
Set in Sydney's western suburbs, Footy Legends tells the story of Luc Vu (Anh Do), a young Vietnamese Australian man with an obsession about rugby league football. Out of work and with welfare authorities threatening to take away his little sister (Lisa Saggers), because their parents are dead and Luc is deemed incapable of being a responsible guardian, Luc re-unites his old Yagoona High School "footy" team—whose members are now facing social problems such as long-term unemployment, drug addictions, the after-effects of teenage parenting—and wins a competition that offers a Holden Ute and a modelling job for Lowes Menswear as its prize. It is mostly comedy which is underpinned with serious social issues affecting western Sydney.
The film features Vietnamese-language dialogue between Vu, Anne, and their aged grandfather.
Cast
The film also features cameos from such ex-footballers Rod Wishart, Brett Kenny, Brad Clyde and Cliff Lyons, who play for Double Bay, the team that Vu's Yagoona defeat in the final in the film.
Box office
Footy Legends grossed $12,557,331 at the box office in Australia.
