A clever team player, Graham Arthur was a brilliant half forward flanker winning the Best and Fairest in his first year. He led by example inspiring his team with his ability to bring others into the game with his handball. Unflappable in a crisis he used his strength to great effect - the bigger the occasion, the better he played. Arthur achieved Hawthorn immortality being the captain of the Hawks' first flag in 1961.
