Hanoi Coach, Ado, pin up boy in Vietnam Airlines' inflight magazine; poster boy at the 2011 Asian Champs.

Today is Melbourne Cup Day which is the race that stops a nation.

Over the weekend, when Qantas management decided to ground its entire fleet, the headlines screamed that Qantas was “The airline that stops a nation”.

Well, sit back, readjust your Melbourne Cup Day hats and settle in.

Over here in Vietnam, it has been the Swannies’ very own Hanoi Coach, Adrian Enright and Vietnam Airlines’ inflight magazine, Heritage, that have stopped the nation.

Ado has starred in an advertisement in Heritage promoting a golf course (presumably it would have been the Swannies’ favourite golf course, Montgomerie Links…) in a red shirt which looks awesomely similar to the Swannnies’ official club shirt (Go you Swannies!).

Ado and Heritage magazine really have stopped the nation with this truly awesome perfawemance.
