:: ::

Jimmy Szabo sits down with special sporting stars each week, discussing their story, interests, on-field feats, and everything you, the fans, want to know!

Today’s guest is a tough, fierce competitor, who never did things by halves during his 157-game journey at the highest level. Through an impressive career with Melbourne and Carlton, he built an on-field reputation as a courageous midfielder whose attack on the footy and decision-making ability was as elite as they come. This man battled countless injuries, as well as extremely difficult mental-health issues over 11 years in the game, to come out the other side as inspiration to many. Post-footy, he’s continued to share learnings and important messages with others who are struggling, while building a career in the finance industry and living life as a proud family man and father.
