Brendan Fevola says his rough and tumble antics off the football field laid the foundation for his current success as a radio star.

Describing most media personalities as ‘fair skins who’ve lived a good life’, the Fox FM breakfast presenter and former AFL great calls himself a ‘bag of a jerk’, saying it’s something with what your listeners can relate to.

Brendan, who was sacked by the Brisbane Lions in 2011, made the comments during an interview last month on the for the ride podcast.

“I think the beauty of what I’ve done in the past has really helped me in radio,” he said.

The portly former Carlton big has battled alcohol and gambling problems and has frequently made headlines with his outrageous antics.

Fevola, who played 204 games for the Carlton Blues and Brisbane Lions before leaving first-class football for good 13 years ago, has a history of addiction.

He infamously sold his Coleman Medal to feed his out-of-control gambling habit.

The lovable star said losing a job and being kicked out of the AFL and doing “certain things I shouldn’t have done…people can relate to that, they know I’m real.”

The Dancing with the Stars veteran also admitted that he makes the most of his image as a mischievous and ‘jerk’ larrikin.

But he says, “all the times I’ve filled myself up or done bad things in my past, geez, it’s great for radio,” he said.
