Ep 49 Mitch Brennan | FOGS Queenslander Podcast

Описание: Welcome to the FOGS Queenslander Podcast Episode 49!
Featuring FOG #16 Mitch Brennan
Hosted by Mark Braybrook

In this episode, we sit down with State of Origin winger and 1979 premiership winner Mitch Brennan, a genuine Queensland footy character. From his rise at Souths Brisbane to premiership glory with St George, Mitch shares hilarious and heartfelt stories of deception, white boots, and dodging the spotlight (while quietly becoming a cult figure). We cover his debut under an alias, what it meant to be a FOG, his coaching stints, American football ambitions, and his impact off the field.

Mitch’s honesty, humour and humility make this one a cracking listen. Don’t miss the story of “Mickey Lane”, the white boots, and the ride that took him across the globe and into rugby league history.
