Relive Dan Eddy's 2019 chat with Bomber number 652, Greg Sewell, which originally aired on Essendon's 'Fabric of the Essendon Football Club' podcast series celebrating the club's 150-year anniversary in 2022.
Sewell played 171 games in red and black (1952-61) and was a member of the club's 1952 reserves premiership side. He kicked four goals in the 1959 VFL Grand Final loss to Melbourne. He then coached the reserves to a premiership (1968), filled in for John Coleman as senior coach for one game (rd 11, 1965), then served on the Essendon committee (1969-76). Coaxed back to the club in 1980, he replaced Colin Stubbs as Essendon president and was in the chair when the Bombers won the 1984-85 premierships. In 2009, Sewell was elevated to Legend status in the club's Hall of Fame.
