Hall of Fame
We have established a South Melbourne Districts FC Hall Of Fame and have appointed a selection committee to consider nominations for induction. The Selectors are John Bradley, Ken Bennett, Ray Deagan, Gerard Harrington and Barry Morton. Combined, their involvement at our club spans more than half of our existence. We wish them well with this important task. The first inductees will be announced at our Presentation Evening at the end of the 2011 season and the tradition will continue in future years.
If you wish to nominate someone you can submit your nomination to one of the above selectors directly or email to smdhistory@hotmail.com. It is important that you provide what details you have to assist in verifying the nominees’ contribution to the club.
The criteria has been set for selection and note that the selectors will consider the criteria in order to be satisfied that the person qualifies for induction. Nominees do not have to satisfy all aspects and will have satisified at least one of them.
THE CRITERIA – Exceptional and recognised Football talent. – Significant contribution to the club as an administrator and/or volunteer over an extended period of time of no less than 25 years. – Significant contribution to the club as a player and/or coach. For this criteria, the nomineee must have last played and/or coached 5 years prior to being considered (i.e.: retired 5 or more years ago).
The selection committee has tabled 22 initial nominations and we are in the process of verifying the nominees contribution prior to selecting the inductees for this year.
Regards Hall of Fame Selectors.
