Following a jam-packed 2023 season that covered every sport from cricket and football to everything in between, everyone’s favourite sports show – The Front Bar: All Sports Edition – is back for three weeks of national prime time shows.
Focussed on all sports, resident patrons Mick Molloy, Andy Maher and Sam Pang will once again be serving Furphy Beer when they kick-start happy hour at the bar at 8.30pm on Thursday, 15 February 2024.
Over the next three Thursdays, a talented crop of Australia’s most iconic sports stars from multiple codes will stop by the bar to reflect on their biggest moments and untold stories of their careers, including the legendary Cathy Freeman OAM, Australia’s most revered basketballer Luc Longley AM, Australian tennis legend Pat Cash and one of rugby league’s most celebrated stars, Mal Meninga AM.
In an exciting announcement for fans, sports-mad Australian actor Eric Bana will also make an appearance at the bar.
The Front Bar host, Mick Molloy, said:
“We have some of the Australia’s best sporting stars joining us. I was thinking of wearing a similar outfit to the one Cathy wore at the 2000 Olympics, but the censor wouldn’t allow it. Apparently, there could be kids watching.”
“I’ve spent all summer doing nothing but sitting on a couch watching sport, so it’ll be a nice change to spend some time sitting at a bar talking about sport”
