https://x.com/tony_debolfo/status/17267 ... 42995?s=46 I wasn't born in 1970 but have watched the game a few times and his heroics. A true Carlton legend. An iconic figure also for the rest of the game with his involvement in Champion Data. RIP. |

Very sad news. I knew Ted had been unwell for some time, but still jars to hear of his passing. I was there in 1970, thank you Ted for the joy you brought to so many people. RIP |

RIP Ted Hopkins. Before my time as a Blues supporter, but a name that will live forever. |

I am old enough to remember the 1970 Grand final, listening on the radio at home with my sister. Very sad news and as someone said his name will live on forever. |

No joke, I was there in 1970 and behind the Punt Rd goals standing on some empty Fosters. Time does not stand still. R.I.P. |

Maybe Colin Tully will do a better job of tagging Teddy Hopkins “up there” than he did “down here”. |

Lucky that grand final was then and not in this era. He would have got interchanged after his first goal. R.I.P. |

RIP Teddy I still feel spine tingling when I watch those Hopkins jighlights in the 70 GF. I was there in 1970. Just a kid. Really didn't think we would win before the game, but with 5 minutes to go, I was in Blue Heaven. Legend. |
