Such a gentleman.

Condolences to the Arthur family

What a sad blow, he was an enormous character, and we were so fortunate to have our inaugural premiership captain so closely affiliated with the club for so long. Vale

Lost two greats of the club within a few months. Tap it down to John Winneke who went earlier to set up the centre square for you.

Vale Graham. One of the stalwarts of our great club & forever immortalized.

Will have the image of him handing Sammy the '08 permanently etched in my mind.

I’d like to think that the great John Kennedy Snr and Graham Arthur are in a team selection meeting as we speak.

Forever Legends of our great club.

RIP.

Sitting in the old grandstand every home game and watching Graham Arthur play is one of my great childhood memories. I still have his autograph in my autograph book. RIP Graham, thank you for the great memories.

Vale Graham Arthur, a legend of the Hawthorn Football Club.
I had the privilege of meeting him on a number of occasions, the first as a 15 year old when he was a guest at our junior footy club pie night. He was a humble and friendly man who was at ease mixing with kids or any member of the community. At the time he was club captain, three time club champion and regular selection in the Victorian team.
In later life, as a minor club sponsor I met him at club functions and found him to be an old fashioned sporting champion with no pretentiousness and a genuine interest in mixing with supporters.
Graham was a champion player who joined the club at a time when it was transitioning from an easybeat to the football powerhouse that was marked by our first premiership success in 1961.
He will be remembered by longtime supporters with enormous respect and affection.

He was absolutely central to the recovery from the merger madness too. Probably reconnected lots of people who'd become estranged from each other.

Vale Mort a legend of our club condolences to his family and friends and to all at the Hawthorn football club

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

R.I.P. Graham.

It certainly feels like the end of an era with John Kennedy and now Graham Arthur gone.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Sad day for Hawks Footy Club.
A true legend of the club.
