Tim Farrell is an unlikely football revolutionary. At 56 years old, he's been a passionate fan all his life. Aside from that, the odds of him making any significant change on the sport are stacked against him.
For starters, he was born and raised in Australia, almost as far away as anyone could be from FIFA's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. Farrell is a supporter of Newcastle -- not Premier League team Newcastle United, but A-League club Newcastle Jets, based in Farrell's hometown about two hours' drive from Sydney. He has never played professional sport, nor worked in the soccer industry. Instead, he has spent his career working in video and multimedia production.
