Hawthorn champion Jason Dunstall says he feels “a hint of embarrassment” after being elevated to Legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

There’s a status in the AFL Hall of Fame reserved only for the greatest ever and a legendary Hawthorn goalkicker will now join that elite company.

“I feel incredibly grateful to the AFL, it’s been a massive part of my life and to sit among names which are synonymous with the game now, as I said, incredibly humbling. Dunstall, 59, had received a call from Goyder with the news while he was with media colleagues at a game earlier this season and had tactfully responded ‘Oh, yep, thanks’ to the chairman’s call to try to avert suspicion.

Afl Commission Chair Richard Goyder announcing the elevation of Jason Dunstall to Legend status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.Dunstall said he would have “absolutely” kept playing to go toe-to-toe with goals record-holder Tony Lockett if not for knee injuries which forced his retirement.
