No, we’re not talking about the Bachelorette Sam Frost, or polarising host Osher Günsberg, but rather professional footballer and Bachelorette contestant Michael Turnbull. 

Turnbull’s entrance into the show was a fairly smooth one, and he seemed to impress Frost upon their first meeting. 

However, his introduction as a professional footballer certainly had some people wondering how 'professional' he really is. 

Turnbull’s most recent footballing escapade included signing with Melbourne Victory just weeks before they claimed the A-League title for the 2014-15 season earlier this year. 

The 34-year-old however, didn’t play any minutes for the Victory in their successful campaign. 

Prior to this, Turnbull found success both in Australia and throughout Europe across a career spanning 16 years.

Some of his career highlights include representing the New Zealand Knights during their time in the A-League, as well as representing Australia at both under-20s level, and at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. 

Well, he certainly has Sportal’s vote! Michael for Frosty in 2015!
