I wasn't born in Hawthorn, and, in particular, I wasn't born in Linda Crescent.
My uncle is probably responsible for me following the Hawks. He lived in Vermont and was an avid Hawk since the 30-40s.
I remember wearing one of these when I was a kid, although I cannot remember who gave it to me. It was very old and a very heavy shrunken wool and a little out of shape, and the logo had been ripped off. Weighed a ton when it got wet. But it was my favourite - perhaps because no one else had anything like it.
