Adam Peacock chats to this A League season's leading scorer Jamie Maclaren about his life in football and some of the characters met along the way.
From backyard battles with his talented brother, Jamie takes us through his move to England as a teenager to Blackburn and puncturing a lung as a Premier League debut beckoned.
He chats in detail about his time at Perth and in particular Brisbane, where he was lured by John Aloisi.
Falling out at Brisbane over his worth, to Germany then to the hotbed of Scottish football with Hibs, under Neil Lennon, scoring in some crazy games against Rangers to try and make a World Cup.
Enjoy the chat, it's a sizeable one!
