Museum curator Peter Haby has been a part of Hawthorn's history for 45 years. Now, his service to the brown and gold has been recognised by the AFL.
Haby has served as a Hawthorn Football Club historian since 1978He says his mother was responsible for developing his love of the Hawks
Haby is referring to the moment Langford lifted his guernsey above his head and showed it to the crowd at the end of the Hawks' thrilling one-point win over the Demons. "So Langford turned up at the captain's pie night … and said, 'Oh, yeah I'll help you out,' and he just … rolled up his guernsey and said, 'There it is, it's yours,' and that's hanging at the doorway," Haby said.Recognition for a lifetime of serviceSlowly walking through it gives you a true sense of the former school teacher's meticulous and lifelong dedication — or rather obsession — with the brown and gold.
Haby's passionate preservation of Hawks history was recently recognised by the AFL, which gave him the Jack Titus Award for his service to the game.
