SCG Trust to induct Beetson, Fulton

May 08, 2008
THE Sydney Cricket Ground Trust will induct nine of Australia's greatest all-time league players as life members prior to the Centenary Test between Australia and New Zealand on Friday night.
Those to be inducted as life members are Arthur Beetson, Ron Coote, Bob Fulton, Noel Kelly, Graeme Langlands, Bob McCarthy, Norm Provan, John Raper and Arthur Summons.
They join Reg Gasnier and Keith Holman as former Australian Rugby League players who have been bestowed the Trust's highest honour.

Others to be awarded SCG life membership are Sir Roden Cutler, Pat Hills, Olympians Betty Cuthbert, Marjorie Jackson Nelson and Marlene Matthews, cricketers Richie Benaud, Sir Donald Bradman, Bill Brown, Alan Davidson, Neil Harvey, Keith Miller, Arthur Morris, Norman O'Neill, Bob Simpson and Doug Walters plus former Australia rugby players Trevor Allan, Sir Nicholas Shehadie and Colin Windon.

Trust Chairman Rodney Cavalier said it was appropriate the Trust welcome as life members the rugby league greats in the code's milestone centenary year.
Beetson, Coote, Fulton, Langlands, McCarthy and Raper have previously been acknowledged in the Walk Of Honour, which links the SCG with the Sydney Football Stadium.

Fantastic news. 3 Magpie living legends. Great to see that Western Suburbs branding is actively being acknowledged, represented and preserved through these initiatives and events. What a year Ned is having. Magpie team of the 60's, Named in Rugby League's top 100 players of the past Century and then named the Best Hooker of the Century. Talk about a trifecta what's next for the great man? ;) Magpies Hall of Fame perhaps?
