Universal Love Richmond's First Indigenous Player - Derek Peardon

[Royce Hafey]

Great story - and doubly fascinating for me as I'm also Palawa, so we might even be related, albeit distantly.

Seems a terrific fella. I always find the stories of the stolen generations tremendously sad, I am sure all of us do. What a shame his body let him down, who knows, could have been a Tiger great.

Great story. Hard time to be the first indigenous player for us.

And what chance to break into that midfield!!! Man that was an awesome time to be a tiger fan
