Legends Series: Wayne Carey – Parts 1 & 2

From Wagga Wagga to the MCG, Wayne Carey’s footy story is one for the ages. The dual Kangaroos premiership captain – regarded by many as the greatest to have played the game – settled in for a chat with footy writer John Harms at the Cricketers Arms Hotel in Port Melbourne this week, as part of aflplayers.com.au‘s Legends Series. 

Part one – in which Carey reflects on growing up in Wagga Wagga, the influence of his brother and how Denis Pagan got the best out of him – can be seen below.
