Tom Hafey's Premiership Tea Cup

[muzhogg]

When Richmond won the flag in '74 both Tom Hafey and Kevin Bartlett (neither of whom took a drink) were given teacup and saucer sets by way of commemoration.

Fast forward to 2019 and it turns out that I happen to work with one of Hafey's nephews whose son turned five a couple of days ago.

So what does he get as a birthday present from Aunty Maureen (Tom Hafey's wife)?

Why, Tom Hafey's premiership tea cup, of course!

My work colleague sent me the following pictures of the great man with his tea-cup.

Yeah. Talk about gifts being "at another level."

I wonder what she'll give him when he turns 10!

Hope the kid is a Tiger supporter.

Certainly is.

His Dad took him to see Dusty when he appeared in Frankston for an autograph signing session -- the kid absolutely loves Dusty.

No doubts about where his loyalties lie!

Hope the kid is a Tiger supporter.

Hope he does'nt host a Greek wedding at his house!

This. Generous to put it out there to put a smile on others who also happen to think Tommy is a Tiger Treasure!

wonder how many times he drank tea out of it ?

Do the math

The 'real' push-up king!!

Respect to the great man. Sits up at the top with a very small group of the best coaches in VFL/AFL history imo.

Still cant believe the club banished the great man to that toothless spiritless hole at Vic park, what a waste, all those runners up efforts with average Collingwood teams, could have been flags with the Tigers.

Once a Tiger always a Tiger.

Yeah. Talk about gifts being "at another level."

I wonder what she'll give him when he turns 10!

That's the dilemma, a KB comb-over or Dusty neck tatts?
