The Argyle Podcast | Episode 175

Crossing the divide.

Growing up in Surrey, there is little chance that Jamie Mackie would ever have imagined he would be embroiled in two of the fiercest rivalries in England. Well, he was, and he somehow comes out of it pretty well.

As a teenager he broke into a Wimbledon side that was struggling financially and, when the decision was made to move the club to Milton Keynes, 18-year-old Jamie went. 

Three years later, he found himself as one of the top scorers in the Conference, with Exeter. At the peak of his powers, Devon rivals Argyle come into the conversation and once more Jamie takes the plunge.

He has a successful time at Home Park, despite the side falling out of the Championship, and bagged a move to Queens Park Rangers, where, in two spells he won promotion, got called up for his country and scored in one of the most famous games of all time. Not bad for a boy from Surrey.

This is the story of Jamie Mackie.
