Universal Love Vale Paul Dear - 1991 Norm Smith medalist

[The Ghost Of Glenferrie]

Sending all the best wishes, prayers, good luck and miracles to Paul Dear and his family as he fights Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.

Great player, but even better man. I hope that a miracle happens, but as the article explains they are in for a rough road.

Hope the club can rally around him and support the family in their hour of need.

Never forget 1991 GF what a game from PD.

My Nana was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in late 2019, showed few symptoms until that point and sadly passed away 5 weeks later. Such vicious and quick disease, Paul and his family will need all the support they can get to fight this, fight on Paul.

Cancer ******* sucks.
Hoping for the best.

Sad news .....

Sad news .....

Had the privilege of sharing a couple of beers with Paul back in the day - he was with Dunstall and Dermie. I was an absolute nobody and just another fanboy yet he was happy to have a few with a hawks fan. Down to earth, funny and just a great bloke. I’m shattered

 

[TazHawk15]

Just s**t news for him and his family sending my best wishes in his fight against this terrible thing.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Absolutely shocking news. Just like his footy career it sounds like he's tackling it head on. Best of luck Punka, and hope he gets better soon!

45 metres it was. He had just marked the kick in and than played on and drilled the goal from a tightish angle. His 2nd qtr that game turned the game into our favour. Completely dominated. Wish the guy all the best and his family.

 

[Buttonsticher]

Best wishes to you Paul and your family. Hopeful for a quick recovery.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Derm always said Paul Dear was solidly built. His measurements bear that out, height listed at 188cm but weight was 105kg
