i love you dad!!!!!!!!!!! you rock sooooo much!
Where do I start?
Dave Mathews is an exceptional person with whom I gladly call a friend and teammate.
I would like him even more if he was a Collingwood supporter, but you can’t have it all.
Cheers,
Remy.
I saw David Matthews at Coles Curtin on Thursday night, and he seems like a good bloke. Too funny to see him approached by Richard Mulchay, but he took it in his stride and acted like the fine and upstanding gentleman he is. My only wish was to have seen the two of them square off over a “Good day to you sir…I said GOOD DAY to you!” episode. Go David!
