The Logie Award for Best Drama: Sydney FC

To be a fan, nay - simply an observer - of Sydney FC is to be caught up in an ever-more incredible soap opera with such bizarre characters and plot twists its as if Gabriel Garcia Marquez scripted Home And Away. Pierre Littbarski, Dwight Yorke and Terry Butcher are stars from another era while Frank Lowy, Anthony LaPaglia, and perhaps much of the playing staff have been written out of the never-ending series. But what will become of pin-up hunk John Aloisi and "Crazy" John Kosmina as they continue their search for love? It's a cliffhanger! With a new Russian owner, let's hope this doesn't turn into a Dostoevsky novel. You know you should be interested but, sigh, it's too much hard work.

So she quit, renamed herself Samira Summer, and is now a full-time porn star.
