Two weeks ago, at Docklands, I had the absolute honour of sitting alongside South legend Fred Goldsmith for the second half.
We talked about the umpires (he thought they were terrible - but he agreed with the Mills decision), where the Swans were at and marvelled at the brilliance of Buddy as he nearly dragged the team over the line.
At the siren, he shook my hand and I walked out feeling a lot better than I normally would after a loss.
Little did I know that it would be his last Swans game!
The only fullback to win a Brownlow, Swans Team of the Century, and a really lovely bloke to sit and watch the footy with.
R.I.P Mr Goldsmith
