Essendon Football Club would like tocongratulate long time Essendon supporter Eileen Chalker who will celebrate her100^th birthday on Monday.

Mrs Chalker visited the club during theweek with James Hird, Sean Wellman, Stewart Crameri and Cale Hooker on hand tomake her visit a special one.

Eileen grew up in Shepparton before movingto Essendon with her husband and three daughters in the 1950’s, arguablyEssendon’s most successful period.

She is no longer able to attend matches,she watches every game on TV in her Essendon home and is still a passionateBombers supporter.

Eileen has witnessed many great red andblack moments in her time as a devoted Bomber and meeting Hird made herbirthday celebration all that more special.
