Growing up on the Queensland coast as the youngest of four boys, Harry Grant's parents knew he had enough 'mongrel' in him to tackle any challenge on or off the footy field.
When an energetic blonde kid from Yeppoon first picked up a footy alongside his older brothers, little did he know he would become the leader of one of the country's biggest sporting clubs."I think Harry's always been a good little leader," his proud mum Margie Grant says.
"Harry, being the youngest of the boys, picked up his first footy at a very early age … he actually played two years in the under-6s," Margie said.Paul Snr — a former Brisbane first-grader who played in one of the sport's toughest eras — said he saw the "mongrel" in Harry from a young age. "When Harry puts his head to something, he becomes really passionate about it and he's been like that since he was a little fella," she said.'It's come through hard work'
