The Mitcham Football Club would like to congratulate our Senior captain Jackson Glossop on what will be his 150th game for the club THIS WEEKEND 12 years ago a young bloke happened to make his way from Blackburn FC and ended up at Walker Park. After a few years in the Under 18’s Jacko was picked to play senior footy and he hasn’t looked back since. Jackson played in our 2015 Senior premiership side and then became club captain. He then led our boys to another Senior premiership in 2019. Jacko has also won multiple Senior best & fairest awards and is a genuine champion on the park week in week out.
Club President Matt McCubbin said “Jacko is an outstanding person to have at our footy club. His respect as a player and senior captain is equally matched off the field, as he is a genuinely good bloke who has time for everyone. To have played in 2 Senior premierships and to have captained one of them is just reward for the effort this bloke puts in to his footy. Good footy clubs are made by good people and Jacko is definitely one of those. Over the last 12 years, the club have had some ups and downs and right throughout that period Jacko’s commitment and dedication to our club could never be questioned. I have the upmost respect for Jacko as a leader, a footballer and as a very good mate and I wish him all the best for his milestone match tomorrow.”
Senior coach Neil WINTERTON said “In my time at the football club Jacko has been a standout both on and off the field. On field the way he goes about his football with no regard for his safety backing into oncoming packs and sticking his head over the ball week in week out personifies leadership. He is rarely beaten one on one and you can go into every game knowing that Jacko won’t lower his colours. To be captain of a premiership winning team is just reward for everything he has given to the football club. Off field he is as outstanding person with very high values and is someone that all his team mates should aspire to be like. Congratulations to Jacko on notching up 150 games for the Mitcham Football Club.”
