Nominations - Wellington football's Hall of Fame.

Nominations - Wellington football's Hall of Fame.

There was mention of this happening in yesterday's TeeDubs programme.� I can't see another thread (happy to be shown up) so I'll put in my ten cents worth here.

Dairyflat, didnt see the article but some criteria as to what makes a player the best in this category would help.
You mention attitude and loyalty in the case of Keith. Some players in the sixties played a lot more games for NZ than Keith.
Set the criteria and then we have something to go on.
Maybe you could extend it to women and then you could include your sis as well.

Steve, it says 'Who would you nominate for Wellington Football's inaugural 'Hall of Fame'?
The Hall of Fame to be established in April 2011. 'Celebrating nominees from the last five decades'. So no published criteria yet.

Firstly I am not Steve. I am Uirons. 6'2", eyes of blue (and claret) etc.
Would be interesting to see who is likely to be involved in developing such a criteria and selecting candidates. Who wrote the article in the programme?

Probably need some old guys who were around back then and still have their marbles.

contact is TW's GM Shaun Gill.

Great to see some early comments!

We are just in the process of locking down criteria, categories, selection panel and event details so please stay tuned.

We will get this info on Yellowfever as soon as possible but meantime any thoughts and ideas are most welcome so please feel free to contact Shaun at TW as we are putting things together now.

We are excited about this project and think it's long overdue. Sorry to be a bit premature in releasing news of the event without all the details available but the upside is you may have ideas we can still incorporate.

PS Keith Barton... Yes, certainly these are the types of people that we want people to discuss as we want to reflect on players, coaches, administrators and maybe even referees?

More info asap

Mark Chote (on behalf of TW organising team!)

I nominate my whole family + Shaun Gill as coach

Can I nominate me?  I have played for every club in Wellington which is quite an acheivement.

At the end of the week which marked the second anniversary of Dave Farrington's passing ...

Further information around the Wellington Football Hall of Fame event is available online at www.tw.org.nz.
Nomination forms have been sent to clubs so if you would like to nominate someone please contact your club chairperson to complete the nomination process. Nominations close 1st March 2011.

As clubs consider who they will nominate a few possibles come to mind: markc2011-02-09 09:30:35

Leo Bertos & Tim Brown in terms of current names also...

from the 70's Geoff Brand [Stop Out] Jakie Nathu [Miramar & others]

Brain going a bit dead these days but I'm sure that others will remember players from the Stop Out national league team, those were the days at Te Whiti.

easy!

Duncan Oughton wtf Feverish2011-02-08 11:00:58

Simon Elliot

Michael Greene

what was Billy Harris's win/loss/goals record?

Duncan Houghton & Simon Elliot yeah nice... Michael Greene ...might need to tamper with the official records a little, not sure what he told you Hard News?

Jason Pine and Miles Davis discuss the Hall of Fame HERE on Radio Sport yesterday. (HOF discussion starts a couple of minutes in)

I'm not quite sure of timings but I think of people from the early days of the National League like Imre Kiss (Hungaria then coach at Wests), Alan Jeffery - Wests 15yo then later Stop Out National League until he was older than Methuselah - sorry Alan, and NZ on the way.  Sounds like a Miramar Rangers/Wellington Diamond/City focus though.Mr Blobby2011-02-09 20:13:29

Yeah hoping for nominations like this Mr Blobby... It's all Wellington Clubs that featured in the national league since it's establishment in1970. Criteria means players also need to have played junior football in Wellington. markc2011-02-10 10:22:09

surely Pedro and Mohammed would be neck and neck for match official of the last 40 yrs..

Wellington Football Hall of Fame logo released today.

Keith Barton perhaps, but what about Alan Jeffery longer National league and NZ reigns than Keith I would have thought - also Wests then Stop Out. Mr Blobby2011-02-14 22:08:43

You been using Microsoft Paint again Gilly?

Formal nominations close at the end of the month...make sure your club makes the effort to nominate their great contributors! Men and Women players, coaches and or administrators!

Nomination forms available from [email protected] and details at www.tw.org.nz

Tickets to the event at Four Kings go public next week but are limited to 150. Clubs have had first option on a table, so follow up with your club to check if they are taking a table asap.

Piney will host the evening so it will be a chance to hear from some of the highest performers in our game- past and present!

Jeff strom??? Played for NZ in the early 80's and WDU I believe.

Why are you posting at 6am?  Just got back from town?

I needed to read this thread to put me to sleep

11 'A' caps for New Zealand - was in the 82 WC squad.
National League stints at Stop Out, Christchurch United and Miramar Rangers. Part of the 82 MRFC Chatham Cup team that lost the final to Mt Wellington and the 86 MRFC National League side who finished runner up to Mt Wellington

Ron Harries = Superb bloke. Thoroughly deserves his nomination

so in your view how does this compare to the loads of Wellies who have had full internationals and played professionally?

Can only work with those that have been nominated. In saying that there have been six additions to the nomination list from a couple of late responses from the clubs.
Vaughn Coveny
Simon Elliot
Jeff Strom
Tim Brown
Leo Bertos
Shane Rufer

well thats a start of some names which I was thinking of. The ones you had seem to be guys who played a lot of local footy and thats about it. Then again I dont think I have seen anywhere what the criteria actually is/ what you are rewarding. If it is going to a World Cup and not playing what about James B? Other poss names - Raf, Dunc Oughton, Phil Patterson, Matt Carnihan

Again, the process is driven by the nominations received. There was nothing stopping you from naming any or all of those guys. We would hope you or others put those guys forward in 2012.

is it too late to nominate Matt Carnihan? surely the most clubs of anyone in Wellington football
