The event will feature the club’s second induction ceremony of former greats into the Western Suburbs Hall of Fame. A special presentation of commemorative medallions will also be made to all former first grade players (or their next of kin) who played with the club since its foundation in 1909 until 1999 when it joined the Balmain Tigers to form the Wests Tigers joint venture.
A total of 1063 players played first grade for the Magpies from 1908-1999. The club wishes to honour and acknowledge those players who have contributed so much to the proud history and tradition of one of the code’s greatest ever clubs.

My older brother will be spewing. Rolled his ankle and completely stuffed it in the final trials for The Magpies back in the 80’s. He claims he ONLY ever wanted to play 1 x 1st grade game!
