Glen 'Jako' Jakovich is a former Australian rules footballer for the West Coast Eagles. Glen was recruited from South Fremantle in Western Australia, where he became a regular senior player at sixteen and played his fiftieth match at eighteen. He debuted for the Eagles in 1991 and played for the club in the centre half-back position and the number 27 guernsey. He was selected in that position in the All Australian team of 1994 and 1995. Glen was notable for his duels with rival Centre Half Forward, North Melbourne Football Club's Wayne Carey. Carey was considered to be one of the best of all time, and the contests between these two were highly anticipated events on the football calendar. After undergoing a knee reconstruction in 1996 he was unable to recapture his superlative form of the previous three years. Although still able to win his club's best and fairest award in 2000, he was not the imposing player of the past. At his peak he was rated by many as one of the very best players in the competition. His brother Allen Jakovich was a full-forward for the Melbourne Football Club. During their career, the two brothers lined up against each other on more than one occasion.
