The Bacheloretterunner-up Michael Turnbull has finally put to rest those rumours that he never actually played professional football for Australia.

In case you missed it, Turnbull sold himself as a ‘professional soccer player’ during his quest to find love with Sam Frost, but many viewers believed he had wildly inflated the claims.

“The highlight of my career was playing for Australia and the Socceroos and also the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000” he told Sam during one of their dates.
