A giant, a hero, a dad and a husband - AFL legend and motor neurone disease crusader Neale Daniher was it all.
Daniher, who became the symbol of the fight against the disease, died on May 25 aged 65 after a 13-year, public battle with what he called The Beast.
On Wednesday, more than 1000 people flocked to the same hallowed ground where Daniher played for Essendon and later coached Melbourne.
