Melbourne player Troy Broadbridge passed away on this day in 2004 while on his honeymoon at the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. He was one of an estimated 227,898 people in 14 countries who perished as a result of the Boxing Day Earthquake and subsequent tsunami in the Indian Ocean - one  of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.

Always remembered.

I always think of The Boxing Day Test and The Sydney To Hobart on boxing day. Troy probably played his best game in his last one. He almost won us the final against Essendon with the job he did on Hird 

RIP Troy and all others who lost their lives in this tragedy.

I read that people were running towards the water when the sea went out before it came back 10 times worse.

Thanks for acknowledging Troy. x

Forever a MFC player.

Died a hero pushing his bride onto a passing hotel balcony. Never forgotten.
