Three South Australian football greats have been inducted into the West End SA Football Hall of Fame at the Adelaide Oval on Monday night.

Popular Sturt and Carlton midfielder Peter Motley, Port Adelaide, Essendon and Adelaide wingman Greg Anderson and the Double Blues’ first premiership captain-coach Bill Mayman are the latest names to now reside among the Croweaters’ illustrious honour roll.
