What a motivating moment for the current playing group to witness.
Cracking stuff!

I have doubt because 360 isn't on tonight.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Awesome, very happy Gav finally has that jumper back.

Not sure is responsible for the marketing and PR at Port these days, but whoever they are, double their pay...

It's gone from gimicky, trite, plastic crap to genuine, club oriented, meaningful content.

Brilliant stuff.

PORT Adelaide champion Gavin Wanganeen has been reunited with his 2004 premiership guernsey after an anonymous member of the public arranged to hand it back the club.
The Power first launched a public appeal for Wanganeen through The Advertiser to have his jumper returned in December last year when it began to plan for the 10-year reunion in March.
The handover missed that deadline, but the jumper was returned to the club after an anonymous tip-off from a caller who said he had the jumper.

Returned no questions asked, BUT I STILL WANT ANSWERS!!!

I put it to you that this man was also in the changerooms that afternoon.

So nice to see for Gav.

Great that he and the club let us in to a moment that was so special to him.

 

[PA1870]

A moment which can put things into perspective for the true PAFC person.

It's not just a GF guernsey for Gav. It's the guernsey he came back to play for and the guernsey his club had the ultimate success in.

Just when you think you couldn't be prouder of your club, PAFC pull this out.

Damn Thursday Night football, I hate it.

Just watched the video then, fantastic stuff!! As a guernsey collector, sometimes we get carried away with wanting to get that elusive guernsey on our list of want's, and forget what it originally meant to the player. Great for Gav to get it back, and s**t act by whoever stole it, even more so that it took 10 bloody years to get it back to where it belongs!

Happy ending, might have to change my tip from pies to you boys after all this

Just posted a link to this on our board. Love it and starting to love Port and "the way they go about it".
Amazing video.
