When Buddy lined up for his 1000th goal, an enthusiastic Hawks fan (to say the least) was standing right behind him on the boundary line. Seeing the famous brown and gold in prime position as Buddy was about to make history was a welcome sight for many Hawks supporters watching the telecast at home. In some ways this plucky young Hawks fan was representing all of us, and he really was unmissable jumping up and down amid a sea of red and white. But who was this mystery man? And how did he manage to insert himself into one of the most iconic footy moments of all time? We put out a tweet to find out. Just a few retweets later we had our man.  In this special investigative pod of Hawks Insiders, we spoke to the (other) man of the moment about his place in footy folklore: how he got there, what happened when he got on the ground, and why it trumps the 3-peat as his most treasured footy memory. It’s a must-listen for any Hawks fan and without a doubt one of the most entertaining chats we’ve had on the Hawks Insiders/Golden Years pods. Just a bit of a language warning if you’re listening with the kids in the car. Cheeky Monkey 🙉 Join the Hawks Insiders community on Twitter and Facebook. This is a public episode.
