  • 209: Remembering Jack Jones with Sarah Jones (Part A)
    Apr 24 2024

    An Anzac Day Special.

    Howie is joined by Fox Footy host, Sarah Jones, to remember her Pop, Jack Jones - who appeared on the podcast in 2016, for episode 6. It remains one of Howie's favourites.

    The late Jack Jones played in 7 Grand Finals for the Essendon Bombers, which included 3 Premierships. Before he stepped out for the Bombers, he went to war with the 24th Infantry Battalion in New Guinea and Bougainville. His memory and recall of these times was as breathtaking as it was incredible.

    He had no time to fear what was happening around him, because he was committed to looking after his mates first. And that about sums him up, you have to hear his story.

    Lest We Forget.
