The Western Bulldogs are mourning one of its most iconic supporters, Garry Hincks, who passed away today at the age of 76.
Garry was a legend among Bulldogs members and fans – a man who famously attended over 1000 consecutive games featuring his beloved red, white and blue.
Garry first saw the Bulldogs live back in 1974, and it was only the coronavirus pandemic last year - when crowds were locked out of stadiums – which halted that run.
Even at that first lockout game at the start of 2020, he was spotted outside Marvel Stadium, despite not being able to physically walk through the turnstiles.
Given he lived in Portland, a four-hour trip to Melbourne, his dedication to the Bulldogs was remarkable.
Garry was honoured for his passion and dedication to the Bulldogs after the Club won the 2016 premiership, by being part of the flag unfurling ceremony the following season.
The Bulldogs players will wear black armbands during their Round 23 match against Port Adelaide, to honour all former players, officials, members and fans who have passed away during 2021.
The Club would like to express its sincere condolences to Garry’s family and friends during this difficult time.
