How footy legend James Hird's wife Tania marked her first birthday since their shock split emerged


The end of the couple's 27-year marriage shocked the footy world when it came to light last week, with sources saying they remain on good terms and 'grew apart'.

Four weeks before the news was made public, Tania shared an Instagram post to her design business' account, with eagle-eyed fans noticing she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. With James at the helm, Essendon were at the centre of one of the biggest scandals in the history of Australian sport, with 34 players found guilty on appeal of taking performance-enhancing drugs across the 2012 AFL season. But in a huge career success this year, James will be returning to TV on Channel Nine's Sunday night show Footy Furnace alongside fellow AFL great, Jimmy Bartel.
