Jamie Maclaren special I 1-1 with Adam Peacock

Adam Peacock chats to this A League season's leading scorer Jamie Maclaren about his life in football. From backyard battles with his talented brother, Jamie takes us through his move to England as a teenager, back to Australia with Perth and Brisbane, lured there by John Aloisi. Then back overseas to a disappointing time Germany and whirlwind move to Scotland (and a mad Neil Lennon) to try and make a World Cup.
