THE most touching AFL story of the year has gone global with best mates Jarryd Haines and Mark Smith in contention to pick up a gong at the Laureus World Sports Awards.
The two young Swans fans gained nationwide attention as the subjects of a search by the club following Sydney’s clash with Carlton.
Spectators sitting near the two boys had alerted the club, via social media, to the heartwarming story of Haines, 12, doing a running commentary of the Swan’s big win over the Blues for Smith, 13, who is blind.
After a week of searching the club tracked down the boys and treated them to a VIP experience which included meeting the playing group at training then running through the banner with the team before the final against Essendon.
But it doesn’t have to end there.
