He words the event well too...
I’VE read and heard a few different versions of something that happened on Sunday and I want to shed some light on it so the story doesn’t grow into something it wasn’t.
Yes, I gave a woman a lift to the game. She was a Raiders fan who I saw as I was driving and it was clear she was going to the ground too.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Every Canberra home game I have a routine of driving myself to the ground. It’s a little superstition of mine.
I always drop in to this one coffee shop and pass a particular bus stop on my way.
A few weeks ago, on my way to the Manly game, I noticed a couple of Raiders fans waiting for the bus.
I thought for a minute about stopping and offering them a lift to the game, but chickened out at the last minute.
I didn’t want them to think I was some random guy telling them to get into my car!
When I thought about it later I regretted driving past them and not stopping.
Anyway, on Sunday it happened again. As I drove past this bus stop I saw a woman sitting there dressed in Raiders gear.
She was obviously on her way to the game and this time I built up the courage to actually offer her a lift.
When I pulled over and called out she seemed a bit shocked. She peered through my car window and asked “are you Blake Austin?”.
When she realised who I was she was stoked to accept my offer.
The way I saw it we were two people heading to the same place. It was a cold day in Canberra and if I could help her out and make the trip a little quicker why wouldn’t I?
THE CAR TRIP
On our way to GIO Stadium we got chatting.
Her name was Jane, she was a diehard Raiders fan and, to be honest, I don’t think she could believe she was sitting in a car talking to one of the players.
I gave her some of the inside gossip, telling her little bits of information about all her favourite players and giving her a bit of an insight into the team she loves to follow.
She got a thrill out it.
But, to be honest, I didn’t think what I was doing was any big gesture.
I certainly never expected the story to get as much air time and print space as it has in the past couple of days.
To me, I was just doing what any decent human would.
Offering a lift to someone who is going to the same place as you shouldn’t be an anomaly.
