FORMER Hawthorn footballer Ken Feltscheer has reached a magnificent milestone today.

Feltscheer is celebrating his 100th birthday.

He’s believed to be one of few senior-level AFL/VFL players to have reached the milestone in the league’s 118-year history.

Feltscheer played 43 games for the Hawks between 1937 and 1943 and had previously played three games for Melbourne from 1935 to 1936.
