McGovern, who runs a plumbing business in Perth, joined Heidi, Will & Woody on Hit 92.9 to take talkback calls on either football or plumbing advice.

Lee Spurr pranks Jeremy McGovern

But things took a turn when 'Roger' from Armadale called in.
Roger, otherwise known as Spurr, started off by attacking the defender's performance in West Coast's 50 point loss to Hawthorn on Sunday.
"I know you're a big man and I know you take lots of marks," he said.
"But when the ball hits the ground, can you have a crack mate?"
Spurr kept the blows coming, even attacking McGovern's business, West End Plumbing's customer service.
The gig didn't last long though as Roger revealed his true identity with a loud chuckle at the expense of the Eagles player.
The prank may backfire on Spurr, as McGovern has been used up forward in recent history - with a potential opportunity for the 98kg McGovern to have a crack on the 82kg Spurr.
