As a parra fan, i dont really give a shit about players from opposing teams.......
but i must have my say on this topic as i think my experiences with Gallen need to be shared.
I have met Gallen during the races at Randwick a few years ago.. and even though the guy was pissed as you would during spring carnival races, he was the most friendly guy and even invited a group of us strangers to an after party he was invited to.
A year ago i bumped into him again at a kids birthday centre where he was there with his family for an unassociated party to mine
, but he was more than happy to take photos with kids from other groups in the centre and seemed to even be excited to chat with all the parents.
This guy is no grub.
I actually expected him to be shitty as i would be if i wanted to be with my family and not bothered by strangers.... but this guy was genuinely happy and excited.
Just wanted my experience of the guy out there.
