For the GOTAFE GVFL 2015 Hall of Fame Inductees click here
Our Goulburn Valley has been the home for more than our fair share of champion players, coaches, umpires and administrators and we talk about big events on the football calendar quite regularly but Sunday 19th July is a massive event in season 2015 for the GOTAFE Goulburn Valley Football League.
This historic night will see a second group of members inducted into its Hall of Fame at an exclusive function to be held at Shepparton RSL.
In last year’s inaugural event D.C Morrison, Tom Hastie, Jack Arthur, Robbie Orrman, Ray Willett, Gary Cooper, Wilf Cox and Anthony McPhee were inducted as the first group of eight members into the auspicious Hall of Fame.
This inaugural group of Hall of Famers include a triple Morrison Medallist, the League’s first Morrison Medallist and the first player to play 400 games.
Another eight members of the League’s illuminous history will be inducted on Sunday.
This league has a strong history with quality players and administrators who have been a big part of the journey from its humble beginnings to where it sits today.
Building on the success of last year’s night the GOTAFE GVFL Hall of Fame Committee is looking forward to honouring another eight Hall of Famers.
Last year was the first year of what we as a league hope becomes an amazing tradition with inductees and their families really touched with the honour they received.
The Committee does a great job identifying potential inductees and researching the value these individuals had in shaping the league at the time they were involved.
Sunday night’s event is an exclusive invite only function with inductees and their family members, current Hall of Fame members, club representatives and special guests in attendance. With over 200 people expected to attend the evening it will be a fantastic night for all.
I want to thank the Hall of Fame Chairman Freddo McMahon and the Committee for the time and effort they take in selecting the next deserved additions to this esteemed group.
Don’t forget to follow the GOTAFE GVFL on twitter or facebook from 6.00pm Sunday night to see who the latest inductees are.
