FOG #92 Jason Smith | Neville Nobodies, 1995 Glory & Queensland Pride
Jason Smith is FOG #92. A Brisbane product who came through Souths Woodridge and the Brisbane Easts pathway, Jason built a remarkable professional career on instinct, toughness and pure football ability.
A premiership winner with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 1995, Jason played 289 first grade games across an outstanding career with Canterbury, Parramatta, Hull F.C., Canberra and the North Queensland Cowboys. He also represented Queensland 16 times and Australia in 15 Tests, earning a reputation as one of the most naturally gifted footballers of his era.
In this episode of the FOGS Queenslander Podcast, Jason reflects on his upbringing in Woodridge, moving to Sydney as a teenager, making his State of Origin debut alongside his brother Darren, and the unforgettable 1995 Neville Nobodies series. He also opens up on the Super League era, the joy he found in simply playing footy, and why nothing ever topped pulling on the Queensland jersey and running out at Lang Park.
A footballer’s footballer.
And a proud Queenslander through and through.
