An innocent photo of NRL star Josh Addo-Carr celebrating the Melbourne Storm s 2020 Grand Final win has sparked controversy among footy fans and triggered a backlash from some of Sydney s most feared street gangs.
The winger can be seen throwing up the hand signal 67 in a nod to Doonside - the gritty Western Sydney suburb where he was born, which has the postcode 2767.
Another high-profile figure from the area is notorious drill rapper Hooligan Hefs, who pens songs glorifying guns, gangs and street violence.
After the Storm speedster made the hand gesture during a post-match interview, a social media account linked to Hooligan Hefs re-posted the photo with the caption LETS FKN TROT !! congrats brother .
