Remembering the great Neale Daniher | His close friend Tim Watson talks his life, legacy, and what we can do to help the cause

from Two Good Sports · host iHeart Australia, Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny

He built and commandeered an army. An army who donned blue beanies and plunged into the ice and took action, knowing the leader would one day lose his life to the enemy. This is a bit of a different episode for us. Following the passing of Neale Daniher after a 13-year fight with motor neurone disease, we take a moment to reflect on a life that changed far more than footy. We hear Neale's own words from 2019, a message for his grandson about courage, responsibility, and facing life when it isn’t fair.  Then Tim Watson, former teammate and close friend of Neale's, who joins us to share what he was really like: the competitor, the conductor, the mate… and the force of nature who built a movement that united a nation. The Daniher family mobilised an army to take the fight to MND. And now, as Neale told us, we play on.  A conversation about legacy, resilience, and what we can do to make the biggest difference.   Harvey Norman love sport.
