Offspring Legend Chris Judd has placed a sincere tribute to his former Eagles teammate Adam Selwood, revealing that the 41-year-old was nice for everyone ‘but not himself’.

Selwood died on Saturday tragicallyOnly a few months after the death of his twin brother Troy by suicide.

Judd, who was the skipper of West Coast when they won the Premiership in 2006, said that Selwood was the perfect teammate.

“Some people bounce when they run,” Judd posted on Instagam next to a photo of him who hugged Selwood on the field.

‘They glide with their feet that hardly touch the ground, the result of genetic gifts that have been given to them. That was not how Sellars ran.

“He was a great runner, but it was purely a consequence of grit, determination and work. His knees knocked somewhat, the knee plift almost no existence, every step was proof of his determination, which was without a pear.

‘He was the perfect teammate, you knew that every week you got everything while you were fully focused on the team.

‘While his personality outside the field combined a hard lead with kindness and compassion, a friendliness that he gave to everyone, but not himself.

‘I hope he has a beer with Troy, with the sun that both shines on it (with low levels of UV), and when he takes on the field, I hope that the attackers will no longer try to get a goal and that the new teammates like to play with you as much as we do. Rest easily. ‘

Judd’s wife BEC shared the post alongside an emoji of a broken heart and also made his own tribute on Instagram.
