    *Sob* *Sniff* brings a tear to the eye. What a legend.
    Every supporter will hereby read this article and send a 50cent coin to Jarrod Harbrow. ( Add 30 cents for inflation)

    great story, although they added a sweetener with the kid and the 20 cents.

    The article says the following:

    "Grant, who played 252 games at the Bulldogs from 1990 to 2001, described the decision as the hardest of his football career"

    Ummm..... Im pretty sure I was at the MCG some time well after 2001 celebrating 333 games.....!!

    Probably a typo and meant 2007?

    After he signed with the Dogs I wrote him a letter addressed to the western oval.
    I congratulated him on his decision and thanked him for his loyalty.
    He wrote back, not a signed photocopy of a prepared statement but a hand written letter,
    thanking me for my support.
    What a man. What a hero.
    Who will be the next one to emerge after Johnno hangs up the boots?
    PS. Of course I still have the letter

    The greatest Dogs footballer I have seen with my own eyes.

    Don't know if he's the best I've ever seen, but he'd be top 10 for me.

    I still have a letter that Andrew Purser wrote me in 1987. I sent him a Happy Birthday letter & asked him a few questions. He was kind enough to write back to me. Something to treasure, like your Chris Grant letter.
