Remembering the life of Neil Danaher this morning, who passed away yesterday aged 65, he said amongst those words to his grandson Cooper, conduct yourself in the right manner when things get tough.

And he did all of that.

Better than anyone we know in recent times.

And we are going to continue to celebrate his life, David Neitz and Paul Hopgood and Cameron Schwab to join us.

But right now, we are joined by the brother of Neil, Terry Danaher.

And TD, as we say, welcome to you.

Our heartfelt condolences to the whole Danaher family.

And I'm sure you're feeling the love for Neil this morning.

there was a genuine chance.

It was a TD at some stage.

He studied, I think from members and discussions with him, theology, uh, at Assumption College and maybe beyond that at, at, at, um, university.

Was there a chance that he might've joined the, the, the, uh, priesthood?

Yeah.

TD, the story of his latter life is really well told, obviously, and quite extraordinary.

The one that I can't talk with any great degree of certainty or clarity is just how good a footballer he was.

Can you put us in the picture there of just how you saw him as a player and how good a player was he?

Have a bit of a go.

There's a bit of a euphemism there for Neil.

As we let you go, TD, we know it's a tough day.

I mean, just the last 12, 13 years since Neil found out he was diagnosed, you must be extraordinarily proud.
