Hawthorn are mourning the death of 1991 Norm Smith Medal winner Paul Dear at the age of 55.Hawthorn’s Paul Dear balances the ball on his fingertips in the 1991 grand final.He was married to Cherie and the father to four children Harry, Nate, Maya and Calsher.
Dear had 26 disposals and kicked two goals to win the Norm Smith Medal, playing in the flag alongside Hawthorn legends such as Michael Tuck, Gary Ayres, Dermott Brereton and Jason Dunstall. However, he was not in the back-to-back premiership teams as he battled to establish himself until 1990 when he became a key part of the Hawks’ next wave combining height, agility and a booming left foot to play wherever the team needed him.
