Posthumous Hall of Fame
Since the introduction of the prestigious Hall of Fame Award in 1979, successive club committees have been very conscious that there have been a number of club members down through the years who would most certainly have been recipients of the award had it been introduced in earlier years. Indeed, after the award was introduced, there have also been those who were undoubtedly in line for this award, but unfortunately, they died before the Club got the opportunity to honour them.
