Mark Orval (born 19 March 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
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]
He is the father of Dylan Orval, who was picked up by Adelaide in the 2012 Rookie Draft.[6]
Orval currently resides in Melbourne, and has become an unwilling viral internet celebrity under the name '#AngryDad' which to February 2016, has over 625,000 Facebook likes and over 36,000 YouTube subscribers. He is the subject of a series of prank videos showing his short temper filmed by his sons Mitchell, 19 and Dylan, 22.[7][8]
