:: SPORT AUSTRALIA HALL OF FAME :: Recognising Australia's greatest athletes and providing scholarships to Australia's youth

*************************

“When considering the stature of an athlete or for that matter any person, I set great store in certain qualities which I believe to be essential in addition to skill. They are that the person conducts his of her life with dignity, with integrity, courage, and perhaps most of all, with modesty. These virtues are totally compatible with pride, ambition, and competitiveness.”

Sir Donald Bradman speaking at his induction into The Sport Australia Hall of Fame, 1985
