Footy greats visit local schools

10 Sep, 2010 01:00 AM
Warrnambool may have been in the grip of some strange weather yesterday, but hundreds of kids were thrilled to find stars shining at Warrnambool Primary School.

A bevy of former and current AFL players descended on the city as part of the Toyota Good For Footy Tour and pupils from district schools were impressed with their form.

Former Collingwood and Footscray champion goalkicker Brian Taylor and ex-St Kilda hardman and Richmond coach Danny Frawley were joined by Tigers' skipper Chris Newman and former teammate Matthew Richardson, former Adelaide captain Mark Riccuito and Essendon veterans Dustin Fletcher and Mark McVeigh for a clinic, thanks to Warrnambool Toyota.

With footy finals fever upon us, the pupils were also treated to a view of the official replica AFL premiership cup.
