Sportspeople come and go. Most leave zero legacy but meaningless statistics and photos forgotten faster than an Australian Idol quarter-finalist. But Mr. Anthony Minichiello is unique. Like you, Eeryone from the Eastern Suburbs has a Mini-story to tell, from helping old ladies cross a busy road to giving away SOO jerseys to kids after impromptu games of park touch. However, to have him appear at my dying mother’s final birthday, to hear his gentle conversation while she basked in the presence of her all-time favourite player, took interpretations of personal integrity and good grace to a new level. Through her pain and suffering, this man gifted her some little joy and laughter. Today at our family table, Anthony’s name is mentioned in nothing but revered tones. Put simply, his gesture will live forever in our shared history. A remarkable career aside, Anthony Minichiello will be remembered in our community for his place amongst all of us, as one of all of us. A true local hero.

Thanks for the memories Mini
