    Some very well have been underserved which is why those ones have beaten badly.

    I was there at Crown last Friday night to see the inductions. It was great to have the four living inductees: Robbie Peden, Wally Taylor, Joe Bugner & Ray Wheatley, there to receive their golden glove trophies. Was very pleasing to see John Famechon be made a Legend of the ANBHOF & join Les Darcy & Lionel Rose. It was a great night enjoyed by a capacity crowd. Well done Brett McCormick, David Hanvey & their Hall of Fame team.
