He’s the Angry Dad we all know and love that has brought so much joy to the world being tormented by his two boys.

Putting some of the videos together and reliving some of the pranks was hilarious, if you haven’t seen them yet do yourself a favour and watch them, you’ll be in stitches!

Jamie Maclaren 👟

•

The A-League golden boot winner and all round champion Jamie Maclaren is our guest this week!

•

Jamie is a great guy that has been lucky enough to travel the world playing the game he loves and also represented his country!

•

Jamie signed his first professional contract at 16 with Blackburn Rovers and shipped across the world to chase his dream.

•

He’s had an amazing career to date and been loved by each club he’s played for. None more than Hibernian where Jamie starred and the fans loved him, even making a song about him.

•

He’s also been so resilient in his career moving to different teams to get more game time and having to deal with different managers and not getting picked for Australia’s World Cup squad initially. In every bit of adversity Jamie has had to deal with he has taken it head on and made the most out of each situation.
