Former Australia International Rules coach Alastair Clarkson has responded to claims of historical racist abuse at Hawthorn.
Clarkson, who coached the Hawks between 2005 and ‘21, winning four AFL Premiership titles, was the subject of serious allegations that have emerged from a report on the club’s relationship with its indigenous players.
It emerged last week that a First Nations player told the external review that Clarkson and his assistant Chris Fagan urged him and his partner to abort their child and advised that he should break up with her.
