MARK “Jacko” Jackson has launched an extraordinary verbal attack on Mike Sheahan during the filming of the latest episode of Fox Footy’s ‘Open Mike’ show.
Jackson became abusive towards Sheahan as soon as filming started yesterday which set the tone for a tense and awkward interview.
The final product, which insiders say will shock many people, will be shown on Tuesday night.
There has been tension between the pair for a long time but the actions of the former Melbourne, St Kilda and Geelong wild man stunned everyone on the studio floor.
He told Sheahan immediately as the cameras started rolling that he “hated him” which set the tone for the confrontational interview.
Jackson claimed the former Herald Sun chief football writer had ended too many careers and that he’d been waiting for years for the opportunity to have a crack at the veteran journalist.
Speaking on Friday morning, Sheahan said he was still “a bit shell-shocked” from the encounter.
“Fox management were keen for me to talk to Jacko, I must say I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic but we all do what we are told,” he told Triple M.
“As soon as we did the intro he just launched. He unleashed this fury that had been building for 30-years. I’m a big boy and I’ve been in confrontations before but probably not to this level.
“It is unsettling to hear someone say that no-one respects you or likes you. Not withstanding the fact that I knew there was history between us.”
“It was pure fury in a verbal sense.”
Renowned for his erratic behaviour on and off the field, Jackson played 82 games before retiring in 1986 and embarking on a singing and acting career.

What I find funny is that even though Jacko really hates Sheahan, and has done so for decades, he still accepted the invitation to go onto the telly and be interviewed. I guess when your greatest claim to fame is a bunch of thirty year old Energizer ads, plus under-achievements in footy, singing, and acting, you'll do anything to convince yourself (and the public) you're an important as you think you are.

Very likely. Mind you, they should probably interview the person who wrote it, not Jacko.
