Guernsey Number:

Strongly-built Hanley was a high-marking ruckman who missed only two of Glenelg’s first 56 games over four seasons before he needed a serious operation and retired. He died aged just 35 seven years after leading the Tigers in their first game against West Adelaide. Despite overwhelming odds, he consistently played outstanding football.
