Brenda Hilton of Cranbourne is one of the most passionate Richmond fan’s you’ll meet.
There’s not one skerrick of her home not filled with yellow and black – from framed memorabilia, caricatures, figurines, clocks, glassware and more.
Brenda, also known as ‘tiger lady’, has been soaking up her team’s glory ahead of this Saturday’s Grand Final.“I think we can win … it’s up to the boys. I think they can do it,” she said.
In 2017, Brenda made headlines when her ‘tiger car’ was revealed – a 1996 Suzuki Swift painted in yellow and black.
She said the car has since sold the car to someone else to have “some fun with it” – but kept the bonnet as it’s personally signed by the Richmond team after their 2017 Grand Final win.“I spoke someone I knew at the club and he organised it.”
Although being on crutches at the moment, it hasn’t stopped the long-time member from securing a ticket to the biggest game in town and has her fingers crossed for a miracle.
