Was at Sydney airport last night preparing to travel home to Melbourne after watching the unfurling of the flag when the Suns players arrived. Gary Ablett ended up next to me in the line at Subway. While he was ordering hi meal, I reckon he was interrupted 5 times by people wanting his autograph or a photo. (Most of them were Swans fans!) He was absolutely magnificent with everyone who wanted a piece of his time. He chatted generously to everyone and was polite and courteous to all including the Subway staff who served him. (I'm positive they had no idea who he was!) I've always been a bit ambivalent about him but am now a fan. He was a thorough gentleman!
