Where the biggest names in the world of sport go one-on-one with sports journalist Mark Howard. From ultimate highs to tear-jerking lows, Howie lifts the lid on the real stories behind the headlines. He sits down with the biggest names in Australian &amp; world sport, finding out how they started out, what makes them tick, how they deal with the big wins and the big losses, and how they take on sport and life from here.

His story in all of its detail, could be one of the best modern day footy journeys on offer, the Tigers skipper turned setback after setback, into success after success. 
But before we get to that, let's have some fun with Trent Cotchin's Player Profile. 
His kindness, leadership, wisdom and wit - is on show for all!
And, a huge thanks to AAMI for their support of local and community footy, and thanks for helping make this episode possible with the three time Premiership captain.
Excuse a clanger or two, onto the Player Profile we go! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Anzac Day Special. 
Howie is joined by Fox Footy host, Sarah Jones, to remember her Pop, Jack Jones - who appeared on the podcast in 2016, for episode 6. It remains one of Howie's favourites. 
The late Jack Jones played in 7 Grand Finals for the Essendon Bombers, which included 3 Premierships. Before he stepped out for the Bombers, he went to war with the 24th Infantry Battalion in New Guinea and Bougainville. His memory and recall of these times was as breathtaking as it was incredible.
He had no time to fear what was happening around him, because he was committed to looking after his mates first. And that about sums him up, you have to hear his story.
