Happy Birthday to Garry Lyon. Still a bit of a grumpy bugger! I remember you certainly weren't in the mood when my Dad asked you to sign my Melbourne jumper at the MFC family day back in the late 1990s. Hahahahaha! 😂

You were a great player though and a loyal Demon. Not to mention a great friend of the late and great Jimmy Stynes.

Not a bad career highlights reel here!

 

Happy Birthday Garry Lyon, its like I've known you since i was a kid as you were displayed on my bedroom wall.

Enjoy the next 2 weeks.👍🇭🇹🍻

What a great player he was!  Should be in the Hall of Fame.

Great to see the man unable to contain his excitement. Love the rev up he gave before Spuds Game.

Loved watching him in the rooms after the match on the Fox Footy coverage. He's just like anyone of us, absolutely thrilled that we're where we are now after years of mediocrity.

Here's my highlights contribution to this thread honouring the great man.

 

Happy Birthday G Lyon.

A MFC great

Happy birthday to every great Demon and supporter who has missed milestone birthdays in Victoria.

In a rare oddity my daughter who has a birthday in February got a birthday party the weekend before lockdown 1 and every other kid in her class missed out on their birthday party due to lockdowns and my daughter got a 2nd in a row in February this year. No other kid had one in between. It's the only time ever I hope my daughter doesn't get a Hattrick.

 

Seriously love this.

Rarely do we ever get Garry Lyon interview on the MFC website.

Well done Benny Gibson.

When Kate Roffey she arrived she said she would work to bring past players back to the club.  This could have her fingerprints on it.

 

As and aside.  Love the Jaguar ad at the start of all the club videos lately.  Every word about the car sounds just like our attitude to this season and the GF.

Absolutely fantastic to see Garry speak so openly of his love for the Dees, and to hear him saying "we" and "us" instead of "they" and "them" (not that he shouldn't be doing that as part of his day job).
