Best Wishes @marga

[40 years an eagle]

I don't know you personally Marga but I know of your Manly heart and wish I do.

Dan did the right thing posting this here because we as a whole really do care... and you need to know that.

You never lose faith and our hearts together will beat this.

Many of our long term posters and most of us will remember and know marga, in recent years things made her move away from posting and she stepped back from her trips a little.
She was the sea eagle true number one fan for many many years and is the manly mum we all love.

I know she will be annoyed at me posting this and I'll suffer those consequences but she is going through a tough time with the old enemy of cancer

One of the things that makes this site and the greater community amazing is how we all pull together in times like this. Now I don't know what we can offer her but I'd like us all to offer our collective well wishes for Margaret and send her our manly sea Eagles love.

Spare a though for her, she will beat this as she is a tough cookie and I know we will see her smiling at a game again soon

Nice words Dan and all the best Marga, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers

I don’t know Margaret personally but reading the comments from others on this site leaves me in no doubt what a wonderful and strong person she is.
Margaret - your strength and belief and the love and support of your family (including your ST family!) WILL get you through this.

Fan of the year: Mad local footy fan meets Sea Eagles heros

"ALL the boys in the group call me Mrs Choc - I'm a Choc stalker, I'll admit it!"

Emerald's Margaret Anthony is talking about Manly Sea Eagles on-field enforcer Anthony "Choc" Watmough, the man she claims is a misunderstood softie at heart.

Tell that to the judiciary.


Earlier this month, Margaret was flabbergasted to be named Manly Warringah's inaugural Members' Member of the Year at a glittering function in the club's northern Sydney heartland.

Club membership ambassador Paul "Fatty" Vautin presented Margaret with the award, but it was the photo with Choc that made the night magical.

"He knows I am his number one fan," Margaret, who has racked up the frequent flyer points following Manly around the NRL circuit since joining the travelling supporters group three years ago, enthused.

"He is a really nice guy. I know he's had his issues in the past… but he was the first one who sent me a tweet on the night saying congratulations.

"I am in possession of about eight of his player jerseys and only a couple of weeks ago he gave me a pair of autographed boots."

Margaret caught the Sea Eagles bug in 1984 when she started following the legendary Bob Fulton.

A comfy lounge room chair was replaced by the supporters group in 2009 and, since then, Margaret has travelled interstate to New Zealand and even England for this year's World Cup Challenge.

Jetting to China is next in 2013 if a planned game against the Canberra Raiders comes off.

A week after the award and Margaret is still floating on air.

"I'm still on cloud nine," the CD Adams Real Estate employee said.

"I'm still walking around with a smile on my face."

Sadly, the Sea Eagles adoration has skipped a generation in the family.

Margaret's love affair is decidedly not shared by her two sons and daughter.

"They think I'm crazy… but I'm still working on my grandchildren," she said.

Take care @marga I have always been in awe at your incredible commitment travelling from Emerald to just everywhere to cheer on the boys. Keep fighting and know that you have an army of friends behind you - MissKate

Best of luck @marga in this battle. Stay strong and have a lovely Christmas with your loved ones. I don’t know you personally as well, but can see how loved you are by your Manly family.

 

[ricardo]

I reckon Des could take a training game to Emerald.

On ya Marga, we support you on this struggle!!! We are Manly.

Best wishes Marga.
