AFL Legend Haydn Bunton Snr in an unmarked grave...

Sad, but not for long according to this article;

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-25/honouring-the-afl-legend-in-an-unmarked-adelaide-grave/5766610 

"Arnold" who is arranging for a plaque on his grave said "He was a thoroughbred in a field of Clydesdales."

You would think his family (son?) or the AFL would do something like a plaque on his grave, not have to leave it to one of his fans wink

At least someone cares enough to arrange a plaque for him now, I am surprised the AFL didn't do something for him or one of his old clubs.
