Universal Love John Kennedy elevated to Legend status

Issie! Dont think, Doooo!

I sometimes wonder what might have happened if he'd turned up for a run at another club & hadn't come to Hawthorn.

But I've just thought how the fit was perfect: through the hard years, a club craving recognition, identity, respect ... & a man of such character, learning and faith (w that booming voice & total commitment to the cause).

How lucky we were!

St Kilda probably would have 8 or 10 flags.

Heard Kanga speak at a then Princes Park luncheon some years ago. Hung off his every word, he was
so interesting, entertaining and wise.

Hawthorn great John Kennedy Sr is an ornament to AFL. Now he's an official legend

The former coach walked into the club when it was on its knees, then built it in his image. His elevation to Australian Football Hall of Fame legend status has been a long time coming
