JACKO (MARK JACKSON)


Mark Alexander "Jacko" Jackson (born 30 August 1959), is a former Australian rules footballer who played professionally for several teams, including St Kilda, Melbourne, Geelong and South Fremantle. After his football career he became notable for his television appearances, namely the Energizer and Nutri-Grain commercials, along with several feature films. Jackson has also written an autobiography, Dumb Like a Fox. Following his retirement from football, "Jacko" used his fame and popularity to launch a singing career. His first single, "I'm an Individual" went to #15 on the Australian singles chart. A second single, "Me Brain Hurts" was not so successful. A 1991 release "You Can Do This" also failed to make an impression. Jacko combined a rap-like delivery with lyrics based on Australian comedy and larrikinism.
