Welcome to theonceinalifetimefan.com
45,000 kilometres, 28,000 miles. 162 days. 16 Games, 9 Stadiums. 1 family and the Green Bay Packers.
The story of a 15 year old dream being fulfilled despite all rational thinking. Of giving up what most wouldn’t to live the life you want to, not the one you happen to be leading. To meet new people in a new land that for some reason feels like home despite having never been there for longer than a few hours some 8 years ago. One football season to forget about everything else and see the world through Green and Gold eyes. From the sunny shores of Sydney Australia to the freezing depths of Green Bay Wisconsin to follow one of the most celebrated teams in sporting history. This is a once in a lifetime trip fuelled by the desire, the passion and the drive that only fans of the greatest team in American Football history could truly understand.

Draft Day

“In a trade from the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets select...........”
“What do you mean, in a trade” I yelled at the TV holding my yet to be dried coffee cup in one hand and the towel that was set to do all of the hard work in the other.
“No trade, why trade, what the heck are we trading for?” I couldn’t stop moaning. I had waited all morning for this. Waited through the 8 inane minutes it took each team to select their player after the team before them was done. I had waited for the scroll across the bottom of the screen to tell me the key loss and key gain of the Packers over the off-season. I was even waiting for the Packers logo to show amongst the next five teams to pick along the left hand vertical of the screen.
