King Jake the 46th

Posted on April 2, 2008 | Category: Players

Fun article from Geoff McLure in the The Age today, surrounding Jake King and his decision to stick with the not-so-famous number 46. From the story:

“…because of his great debut season as a reward earlier this year it offered him the No. 13 guernsey instead of the 46 he wore in 2007. But no sooner had he accepted it than he received a letter from a patient at Royal Children’s Hospital, a young boy telling him he was his favourite player and how he was saving all his money to get a Tiger jumper with the No. 46 on the back. So taken aback by the letter, which also included a picture of the Tiger taking a great mark, that not only did King tell the club he had changed his mind and was sticking to the No. 46 but he immediately got hold of one of his jumpers and delivered it to the boy in hospital.” (Source and Photo credit: The Age)

   Why is it these aren’t the stories that make front pages (well I know why, but it’s a shame.)
