‘Hawthorn’: In the words of John Kennedy Snr

From Old Dog (Matt Zurbo):

“I present to you, lovers of footy, in memory of a great coach, footballer and genuine family man, a quote from Ray Wilson, followed by my full, 10,000 word chat with John Kennedy Snr… A transcript I could only title: ‘Hawthorn’.”

This is a must-read.
