KEVIN Sheedy has returned to Essendon for the first time since the club sacked him as coach last year.
Sheedy was on Wednesday made the club's honorary 40,000th member to celebrate the club passing the milestone for the first time this week.
Club chief executive Peter Jackson said it was fitting Sheedy be given his 27-year association with the club.
Sheedy said he had no hard feelings towards those involved with the club despite being shown the door at the end of last season.
"There's never been sour grapes," Sheedy said.
"When you're a life member, you're a life member. And when you're a life member you'll always be back at the club."
Sheedy admitted it was the first time he had returned to Windy Hill since his departure, saying it was important to allow the club to grow as the Bombers embark on a new era under new coach Matthew Knights.
"It's most important that when you leave, you move away and let the next step of the club grow," he said.
