Melbourne is known to many as the most liveable city in the world. It wasn’t always that way. It was the rise of startups, cool businesses and ideas that changed the landscape of an old fish and chip, a beer with a parma and standard eggs on toast type of Melbourne.

Only three players in the history of the game have now scored more than Ronaldo,Brazil duo Pele (757) and Romario (772), and Czech-Austrian legend Josef Bican (805+). The football goat debate has been a well-heated and controversial state of affairs, when choosing between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The issue now being, you can’t mention one without the other. Much like you can’t mention Lebron without Michael Jordan, or Federer without Nadal.
