Not much impressed him at that age, but Chris certainly did.
    I met Chris at the club recently at a Business group get together and he showed us around the training centre etc. Such a nice bloke to talk to and very friendly with the whole group.

    Anyway fast forward about a year or so and I am at the club to buy finals tickets (Harvey was born in July '98 so this would have been about 14 months.) Chris is getting out of his car when I walked past and he gave me the "Oh yeah, giddaye, ummm, errr, mate" that you say to someone when you can't remember their name but then he pointed to the baby and said "and this is Harvey, isn't it?"

    I didn't care that he couldn't remember my name but I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the day because Chris Grant marched up to my son and remembered his name!


    What a guy!!!!
    After the 1997 Brownlow I'm not surprised he remembered the name Harvey!

    Tory Dickson (adductor), Tom Liberatore (knee) and Aaron Naughton (knee) look to be moving well and training with the main group.
