Legend
The word “Legend” invokes stories of extraordinary deeds and actions, impeccable values, and strength of character. The Geelong Football Club, prizes these attributes most highly, and seeks out these measures, when elevating a person to the highest honour that the GFC can award… that of “Legend”.
In the history of our Club, since 1859 there are only 28 people who have been elevated to the status of “Club Legend”, such is the esteem in which they are held.
A Legend of the Geelong Football Club will have displayed the Club’s values in an exemplary manner, epitomising “The Geelong Way”, and will be a person who is revered, both on and off the field, whether a player, coach or administrator.
