Tommy a true Tiger icon

Tommy Hafey’s VFL playing career gave no hint of the incredible impact he would later have on the league coaching scene.

In six seasons and 67 senior appearances with Richmond, Hafey, by his own admission, was a battling-type player – solid rather than spectacular.

He played mainly in the back pocket during his stint at Tigerland, but also spent a bit of time on the bench.

After leaving Richmond at the end of the 1958 season, Hafey had a year playing football in the amateurs, before accepting the position as captain-coach of Victorian country club Shepparton.  It was to be the start of a remarkable career in the coaching arena.

Just terribly sad news  :(. RIP Tommy.

For all Tommy achieved in footy and in life, he was so humble and was a man of integrity. Someone who saw the best in people. Thank you Tommy. 

Condolences and sympathies to Maureen and the Hafey family.

A man's man that proves integrity and character are the basis of substantial contribution.

RIP T-shirt Tommy. A true legend of the game and the club. Rightly recognised as one of the greatest coaches of the game.
