Bachelorette contestant apparently said he was a Socceroo. And an Olympian.
But, er, it seems like he wasn’t either of those things.
Bachelorette contestant Michael Turnbull was working hard to fulfill his ‘athletic guy’ brief on last night’s premiere of The Bachelorette. “The highlight of my career was playing for Australia and the Socceroos and also the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000,” he told Sam as part of his pitch to the Bachelorette. Only, according the The Brisbane Times, that’s not exactly true.
While Turnbull was a professional footballer, his credentials aren’t quite as he would have Sam believe, and football aficionados of Twitter were quick to pick up on the recently-retired goalkeeper’s embellishment.
Turnbull socceroos……..??? Bbbbrrrrr!!!!

He didn't say he played for the Socceroos he said he "represented his country", which he did. Nothing false about his statement at all.
Except he said he played for the Socceroos here: http://www.tvweeklogieaward...
incredible... is it really necessary to pick apart every single detail of what he said / how he phrased it... oh he was on the bench, he didn't actually play at the olympics!!! good grief... he was on the team ffs! did any of the women get scrutinised about their profession / jobs? if they did can someone please post a link, I genuinely would like to read it. I'm guessing they didn't though because having an amazing career is only a necessity for men I guess...
