The long wait for Crawf

19/08/2010

By Kelly Yates
NEARLY 500 people queued at Westfield Fountain Gate last Saturday to meet former AFL footballer Shane Crawford and get a copy of his new book, “That’s What I’m Talking About.”
Footy fans gathered at the Angus and Robertson store and got the chance to meet the popular television personality, who regularly appears on the AFL Footy Show.
Shoppers at the Narre Warren centre queued for up to two hours before the scheduled book signing from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.
It was the first time Crawford had appeared at Westfield Fountain Gate.
