Go big or go home — that’s the way former Socceroos legend Mark ‘Bozza’ Bosnich has always lived life and his third wedding will be no different.

Famously proposing to his long-term partner Sarah Jones, 31, on Twitter last July, the ­couple, who have two children ­together, ­Allegra, 7, and Cassius, 2, are now knee deep in wedding plans, exclusively revealing the ­details to Confidential.

Set for next September, the pair have booked the Hyatt ­Regency on Sussex St for their celebrations which Bosnich, 47, is determined to make an extravagant affair.

“The past two weddings I had weren’t big at all so I want everyone to be there,” the former Australian goalie said at the launch of Nickelodeon’s new show, Ready Set Dance.

“I have lots of people I want to ­invite, I want everyone to come.”

And while Jones is yet to choose her dress, she already has an idea of what she wants.

“I know he’s been married a couple of times,” she ­laughed, “but I only want to do it once so I want to go big with my dress. Where else can you wear a big gown and a tiara?”

Jones has also decided she will ­hyphenate her surname in an effort to uphold her own family’s legacy.

“I’m going to hyphenate my name because I’m a bit of a daddy’s girl so I promised him (her dad) I’d keep the name going,” she said.

Allegra and Cassius will also have a special role in the bridal party.

Addressing the couple’s 17 year age gap, Bosnich joked: “My mind has always been like a 12-year-old’s so the age difference has never really bothered us.

“Sarah and the kids ­always ­threaten me and say ‘don’t worry, when Daddy gets older we’ll put him in an old person’s home,’ so I have to stay in shape.”

Bosnich, who has struggled with cocaine addiction in the past, was ­reluctant to weigh in on the spate of recent NRL player scandals.

“It can happen to anyone,” he said. The most important thing to always remember is that there are two sides to every story. My message is if you’ve got any feeling that you’re in a situation that might spiral out of control and you might regret, just walk away.”

“Sometimes it’s very difficult for sportspeople because you’re trained in not to give up … but there are some ­situations that may seem like a loss to you but it’s actually a win to just walk away.”
