SPECIAL: Jackson Irvine on speaking truth to power

It's not unusual to see Socceroo Jackson Irvine characterised as a "different character" in the football world. It might be the hipster aesthetic, his love of fashion or his passion for matters beyond the pitch. He has been an avid campaigner for LGBTQI+ rights and a leader inside his club and out. Now, with his re-election to a global players union, we ask him about speaking truth to power. He talks about the Qatar World Cup protest video, whether anything is planned for the 2026 tournament and the awkward scenario that played out at his German club, St Pauli.
