Hi, I’m Daryl Mclean
But you can call me DMac, DTrain, Daz, Dazza, I get given a few.
I was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland
And I’m currently in Newcastle, NSW
You’ll find me eating pasta
And you’ll see me drinking Beer, Resches or Harp Lager
A sports moment I’ll never forget is definitely the champions league semi second leg between Liverpool and Barcelona in 2019. I’m a lifelong Liverpool fan, so to come back from 3-0 without Firmino and Salah and win 4-0 is still unbelievable. The celebrations in front of the kop were unforgettable!!!
The sports or entertainment venue you’ll have trouble getting me out of Sha Tin Racecourse Hong Kong
I idolise Kenny Dalglish, Jürgen Klopp, Steven Gerrard, Virgil van Dijk, and Mo Salah…..i idolise them all!!!
On the weekend you’ll find me trying to stay active and getting involved in as many sporting activities as possible—and avoid the TAB app (most of the time!).
I’m always happy to talk about football, squeezing in as much golf as possible, and travelling whenever I can—ideally to places with a golf course, a racecourse, and good beer. I also genuinely enjoy working with data.
Something you may not know about me is outside of work, I coach football with the Newcastle Suns. Last season, my reserve grade team won the Grand Final, which was an incredible experience – especially with first grade clinching their title right after us.
