Being around the club since the '60s, I've met a few over the years.
Greatest would be spending an hour or so with Jack Dyer one morning when I went to his house to get a jumper signed for a function that night, and had the best time just talking to the old fella, reminiiscing about Richmond and the suburb, etc. Took me mum with me and will be something we will both remember forever.
One special moment for me was when i was about 14 and a few girlfriends and I were hanging outside the dressing rooms at Waverley waiting for the players to come out and get an autograph or whatever. And a Geelong player (who later played for us) came past and not so kindly told us to rack off lol. Not feeling too good after that, was great when Rex came out of the rooms with his wife, and asked us all if we wanted a ride. So, we all piled into his car and off we went.
Another time I was hanging around training before I went off to training myself at the Olympic pool. And as I was heading off with my girlfriend to go to training, Balmey came along and gave us a ride.
The great thing about those days was the players were pretty friendly and they didn't mind giving you a lift wherever you were going, or come up and say hello to you. Got another ride off Bondie another time when we were collecting for the Children's Hospital.
I remember Ox told us about being friends with Roy Wright - or his dad was - and I imagine WP has met a few greats over the years.
Anyone wanna tell us their stories if they've got a special moment.
