Ford can be proud to sponsor the Geelong team, not only did they win, they celebrated the team waterboy


Geelong’s water boy, Sam Moorfoot,  who has Down syndrome, was gifted a medal by Jeremy Cameron and Geelong Captain Joel Selwood.

I bet you Ford is darn happy with this teams spirit today. Gotta love the Australians!

Moorfoot is well known at the Cats as the club’s water boy, a job he has held for the past seven years.

The 29-year-old Moorfoot, who has Down syndrome, has become a fixture at the Cats since 2015, where he hit it off with Cats skipper Selwood as well as the rest of the squad.

Selwood and Moorfoot have previously spoken about the special friendship they have.

Selwood made sure Moorfoot didn’t miss out on the celebrations and they shared a special moment on the fence of the MCG as Moorfoot was helped onto the field to celebrate with Cats players.

Selwood is a quadruple premiership player, a six-time All-Australian, and a three-time captain of the All-Australian team. A credit to the league

  4. Great story!

    That GMH commercial sounds a lot like one we had in the USA - "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet"
