McNamara was not only Jackson's footy coach, but his boarding master as well. When Jacks...
In the 90s Jackson's rugby league skills were much admired by the crowd, the media and especially fellow players. When his football career ended, he transitioned seamlessly into TV as a sports journalist and commentator. He was known for his crazy humour and non-PC wit.
