A true ambassador for sufferers of cancer and an honest Aussie battler.

Sadly lost her fight today.

Condolences to Glenn, loved ones, and the sufferers who take strength from her courage.

RIP.
 
Horrible news. Just Horrible.

Condolences to all her family, especially her kids & Glenn.

Such an amazingly strong and inspirational woman.

And a very funny woman too, did anyone see her on Denton's Enough Rope?

ANDREW DENTON: The remarkable thing is when you and Glenn were first together, even though he was Australia's greatest and one of the world's greatest fast bowlers, you had no idea, did you?

JANE McGRATH: No, no. I, followed soccer and wasn't really... The English cricket team wasn't anything to write home about, so, really...

ANDREW DENTON: You don't have to use the past tense.

LAUGHTER

JANE McGRATH: So, I didn't know anything about cricket.

ANDREW DENTON: So, when did the penny drop that this guy you were going out with was actually...

JANE McGRATH: Well, when we went back... The Perth Test finished early, and so we went back to Cronulla, where Glenn was living, so...

ANDREW DENTON: Hang on, you went to the Perth Test and you still hadn't twigged that...

JANE McGRATH: Well, no, I just... Cricket's not that big at home. So I still didn't...

ANDREW DENTON: OK. Gosh.

JANE McGRATH: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't, and we were walking through Cronulla, and people were shouting, "Hey, Glenn," and "Oooh, ah," and I thought, "God, he's a popular chap. He's got lots of mates." And that was the bit... I just thought he was a popular bloke, had a lot of friends, and then we went to a friend of his that were having a barbecue, and the girl said, "So, what's it like going out with Glenn McGrath?" And I said, "What's it like going out with your boyfriend?" And she goes, "Yeah, but Jane, Glenn's a superstar!" And I was just dumbstruck. I said, "What do you mean, a 'superstar'? I said, "Like Ryan Giggs?" He's a soccer player in the UK. And she's, "Jane, Glenn's as famous as Robert De Niro." Which he's never let me forget!

I'm not a fan at all of Glenn McGrath, but that is sad for him and his family + friends.

Elaborate on 'not a fan at all' because Glenn is the best fast bowler ever. Better than Lillee. Better than anything out of the West Indies. Also a very funny and humble bloke.

Such a tragedy this. Jane battled through it for a very long time, it was a good innings :thumbsu:

RIP
 
I dont want to ruin this thread, so lets not get into a tussle.

But Glenn McGrath was stuck up, arrogant and on some occassions, showed no respect to the opposition.

One of the best fast bowlers? yeah, the greatest? nah, I still think, even though I have seen little of him but have watched a heap of videos, that Ambrose will always be, he was special.

But anyways, thats for another thread, Glenn was a champ and I feel for him.
 
Funny how North Melbourne fans are giving Jane McGrath who was a pies fan a nice send off:thumbsu: Good stuff guys.

RIP Jane McGrath. :(

He was a Hawthorn player/official then eh?

Shocking news about Jane McGrath's loss. Really terrible. She was an inspiration and such a warm soul.

T'toes
 
Terrible news, sincere condolences & thoughts for Pigeon and his family, particularly the kids. My wife and my oldest son lost a friend/mate's mum to breast cancer a few weeks ago. A wonderful woman who left behind two young children too. Its just not right.
Thoughts with the McGrath's.
