He would win two championships with the Melbourne Tigers – a Grand Final MVP award in 1997 and develop one of the great Australian basketball partnerships with Andrew Gaze en route to having his famous number 21 singlet retired by the club. He is Lanard Copeland and this is his story.

Jamie Maclaren is a striker from Melbourne City & the Australian Socceroos and is the current 2019/20 A-League Golden Boot winner. I’ve always said if I need 3 people to get me a goal it would be Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Jamie Maclaren. Jamie was one of my childhood friends who I grew up playing with in all the Victorian State & Young Australia representative football sides. A determined, focused and hungry human being, Jamie is an electric goal scorer but also a wonderful human who has only gotten better with adversity throughout his career.
