You can see why the Broncos of Gordies era were one of the best teams of all time. They cared about each other like family, they bled for each other and never let their mate down.

[@roughgooch7859]

They also played off emotion which is why I’m not surprised that Gordie broke down when talking about Kevvie’s proud moment of giving his son billy his storm jersey along with his personal struggles.

Seriously?? Craig expresses positivity for Tallis here, and in light of Finchy saying this is bigger than a game of footy, you punch out some mindless rhetoric? Not enough men are in touch with their emotions, Tallis just showed even "tough" blokes are able to cry, it's great for everyone no matter if they bleed Maroon, Blue, or whatever. Plus, we are all green & gold, don't forget. Now go crawl back into your hole, from another Blues supporter.

Kevin Walters lost his wife to cancer, she died on Christmas Day many years ago. He raised his three sons as a single Dad. He’s since remarried, but it’s still incredibly raw for all involved. Gordon is a lovely bloke. He said whenever I needed help or a job he’d always be there for me. Used to work with I’m at ch9.

[@p4pking393]

youre a champ gordy, one of the toughest most competitve hard men thats ever played footy but also with a compassionate side too.

[@justinngariki]

Been listening to a few Gordy podcast interviews over the last couple of days (Bloke in a Bar, Andy Raymond) where he described how he'd have to become another version of himself in order to compete at the highest level of a very violent sport. He's a deep fella and, as far as I'm concerned, a total fkn sweetheart. Top man.

[@Albert_Br]

Yep Gordy is deep in several ways. He's one of the most intelligent men. Many of his observations are spot on.

[@TA-wg9oi]

Probably one of the most heartbreaking and satisfying years at the Broncos was 1998. With Kevvie losing his wife to breast cancer in 1998 he became a single father with Billy only 4 years old. Craig Bellamy joined the Broncos in 1998 to work under Wayne Bennett, the team managed to secure the premiership and with Gordie winning the Clive Churchill medal. Qld also won the State of Origin that year.....Your a champion Gordie and a true friend..

When the old footage went up on screen and seeing small Billy and his Dad, Gordy couldn't hold back the tears as he was a big part of his life

[@johnmiceter]

If someone doesnt shed a tear while seeing this, your not human. Ive never seen Gordy like this before and dont quite know why he was crying, but it made me tear up a bit also. So glad Kevvie was the one to bring the Broncos back to where they belong now though 👊

[@onlychaffing7098]

Kevin's wife died when their kids were young. So his son Billy would be at his dad's Broncos training sessions from a very young age and probably got close to some of the players. Gordy being one. Then talking about Billy's debut in the NRL it hit Gordy in the feels

[@bigchem4244]

Billy was around the older broncos players after his mum died and Kevvy became a single dad. He’s proud of both Billy and Kevvy for their success and how far they’ve come

I watched Billy Walters play against St George. Good defender, good kicking game (tricky conditions second half with a strong wind at the Storm's back). Billy made some classic one on one tackles, good passing game. Goes to the line and wants to get involved...a genuine 1st grader. A very good first game in the top league. Congratulations Billy, go get em...young man. It's good to see the big fella...Gordie shed a tear and show his emotions. For a good mate and the Walters family. Now this is where I lose a few viewer's...haha. Let's hope Kevvie and the boy's, can roll there sleeves up, and get the job done on Wednesday night.
