Introduction<br />
South <strong>Fremantle</strong>’s illustrious football history is one littered with many outstand<strong>in</strong>g events, feats of champion footballers, champion<br />
teams and selfless dedication by committed coaches, officials and adm<strong>in</strong>istrators. All have kept our great club at <strong>the</strong> forefront of<br />
football <strong>in</strong> Western Australia for over a century.<br />
Hundreds of players, coaches and adm<strong>in</strong>istrators were researched, analysed discussed, compared and f<strong>in</strong>ally voted on to arrive at<br />
45 names for <strong>in</strong>duction <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> Inaugural Hall of Fame. The f<strong>in</strong>al judgement was on overall contribution, quality of performance<br />
and <strong>the</strong> significance of an <strong>in</strong>dividual’s impact at South <strong>Fremantle</strong> and Western Australian <strong>Football</strong>.<br />
Players, coaches, officials and adm<strong>in</strong>istrators who began <strong>the</strong>ir association with our club, post 1980, were not considered for selection,<br />
however, <strong>the</strong>ir time will come <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> not too distant future when <strong>the</strong> second <strong>in</strong>take occurs.<br />
The above is a brief summary of <strong>the</strong> clubs <strong>in</strong>tention to recognise and enshr<strong>in</strong>e those people who have made an outstand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
contribution to our history. This prestigious event will also exist and act to <strong>in</strong>spire future generations to build on <strong>the</strong> club’s successes<br />
and <strong>in</strong> do<strong>in</strong>g so, preserve our pre-em<strong>in</strong>ent status <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> WAFL and sport<strong>in</strong>g community.<br />
Special thanks to <strong>the</strong> Chairman of <strong>the</strong> Hall of Fame selection committee, Terry Dean, who was also ably assisted by <strong>Club</strong> Historian,<br />
Dr Steve Err<strong>in</strong>gton, John Todd, Murray MacDonald, Jim Christie and Richard Woodgate, with <strong>the</strong> Vice President, Peter Christie<br />
represent<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Board, as an observer and CEO Brian Ciccotosto act<strong>in</strong>g as m<strong>in</strong>ute taker.<br />
