FIRST PERSON

BEN BROWN FOOTBALLER

I was happiest when … I got married to my amazing partner, Hester, at Shene Estate in Pontville. You wouldn’t know it but … I really enjoy gardening. My most embarrassing moment … was probably one of the times Majak [Daw, fellow North Melbourne player] highlighted my lack of fashion sense. The last time I cried was … after laughing a bit too hard at one of my own jokes. The last book I read was … Legacy by James Kerr. Read as part of the leadership development program at North Melbourne. My favourite films are … Back to the Future 1, Back to the

Future 2, Back to the Future 3. I really want to … be known for more than what I can contribute on the field. I hope I can contribute to the community in a meaningful way. My guilty pleasure is … Over The Moo caramel ice cream. Life has taught me … the value of hard work and determination, and the importance of honesty and love. I’m about to … become the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos’ biggest AFLW fan. My first job was … as a basketball referee in Devonport. My most memorable work

related moment is … the feeling of playing finals football in front of 90,000 fans at a packed MCG. The atmosphere is unmatched. What I enjoy most about

my work is … that I am extremely fortunate to be able to have the career I dreamt of as a child.
