Mark Orval (born 19 March 1968), also known as AngryDad, is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Career
[edit]A Hamilton Imperials recruit, Orval appeared for Collingwood in six of the last seven rounds of the 1987 VFL season.[1][2] He missed one game through suspension, for striking Jim Stynes, then returned against Essendon at the MCG in the final round and kicked four goals.[2][3] His next appearance came against Geelong in the last round of the 1988 VFL season and Orval suffered a career-ending injury, fracturing his right foot.[2][4][5]
Orval has become an unwilling viral internet celebrity under the name AngryDad. He is the subject of a series of prank videos showing his short temper filmed by his two sons.[6][7]
Personal life
[edit]Orval currently resides in the Gold Coast with his wife Sharon and his daughter Hannah and two sons Mitchell and Dylan. Dylan was picked up by Adelaide in the 2012 Rookie Draft.[8]
Orval was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2021, and made a full recovery.[9]
