Ray Hadley’s emotional moment during last day on air

*********** radio legend Ray Hadley became choked up and wiped away tears after he heard his mother’s voice on radio during an emotional tribute to his career on his last day on air.

A tribute to Hadley’s illustrious career was played on 2GB on Friday to celebrate his last day on air after he announced his retirement back in November.

However, Hadley became emotional when a snippet of his mother’s voice was played during the segment.

“Very emotional. I had heard my mother’s voice previously,” Hadley told listeners, choked up.

“I wasn’t gonna get upset. You’ve done this to me you little bludger.”

Fordham said Hadley had taught “everyone in this job to wear your heart on your sleeve”.

“I’ll just say this, having learned a bit about your family over the years — while you’ve lived a very different life to your parents, everyone was a hard worker, and that’s something that has flowed on now to your children as well,” Fordham said.

“I worked hard for great reward, mum and dad worked hard for no reward,” Hadley replied.

“And my children, and fortunately, my children’s husbands … and wife (are) of the same milk, they come from stock that always wants to work and wants to be part of it.”

Hadley also let out a few laughs during the tribute.

“There were some funny things in that, too that made me laugh,” he said.

“And the thing that got me most was mum.”Loyal listeners called into 2GB on Friday morning to farewell Hadley.

The radio icon was also given one of his own first radio awards during his last segment.

“I found it in your office,” Fordham said.

“So you pinched it, now you give it back … Correct?” Hadley replied.

“It’s the thought that counts,” Fordham joked.
