Since I began watching footy Tom has been in the picture. One of the legends of our club. A true gentleman, champion of our game and @GeelongCats ??My favourite memory of him was his third quarter in the 2011 Grand Final. #Hawk300 @tomhawkins_ Congrats on 300 Tomahawk! pic.twitter.com/BH2G3WFA8T

First time meeting his hero in 2015. He has worn 26 on his jumper since attending his first game, aged 5 1/2 in 2014 (even if Tom finished the game in # 34) Congratulations on 300 games to a true gentleman and my son’s hero pic.twitter.com/pXSr03dZ6W
