My missus is a teacher at a primary school in Geelong. Yesterday Gary Ablett Jnr was there. He showed up because it was a kids birthday.
He hung out with the kids in their classroom, sang the club song with them, signed autographs and posed for photos. He even went to other classes as well.
The thing was he was there on his own no manager or anyone, just did it off his own bat. How good is that. The kids loved it apparently. He even gave my missus a kiss on the cheek because it was her birthday.
I just thought it was great to see Jnr doing this sort of thing of his own accord for a supposed media shy person its the things like this that make you respect him even more.
I know other players probably do this sort of thing as well. But this was not an appearance for a fee it was just him being a good bloke.
And the kids loved it.
Just thought i would share it as a feel good story. Lets hope maybe his brother one day can start doing this sort of thing as well.
Good on you Gazza.
