Hall of Fame

Nick Ainsley

Only player in the team to do the clean sweep of trophies for the Eagles in one season. Most improved player, Managers Player and Players Player, it's a feat unlikely to be repeated.
 
Despite his appalling own goal in the dying seconds of the League Plate Semi Final 2001/2002, which put us in a penalty shoot out we eventually lost, Nick will be forever named in the Hall of Fame.
 
His step up from central defence to midfield has been one of the key factors in the improvement of the Eagles and off the field the work he puts in as club secretary has single handedly moved the club onto a higher level financially and put us in a good standing with the League board.
