The Sydney Swans have rallied around Wagga Wagga local Heather Tilden whose prized possession, her beloved Swans-themed red car, was torched by hooligans on Tuesday.

Wagga product Harry Cunningham was quick to get in contact with Tilden to send his condolences on behalf of the Club.

“Things like this are never good,” he said.

“I just tried to give the call a positive spin to cheer her up.”

The Swans’ No 7 also sent Tilden a signed guernsey to add to her memorabilia collection and some tickets to see the Swans live at the SCG in 2017.

It’s been a trying period for Tilden, who has recently battled cancer and just this week sadly lost her sister.
