The Hawks Museum is happy to announce that the families of two Missing Hawks have recently been found.  

Pat Stevens, the daughter of Frank Donnellan player #48 and Mike Whiting the nephew of Alf Clay player #227 have both proudly accepted Debut Ties in recognition of Pat’s father and Mike’s uncle’s service to the HFC.

Frank Donnellan played 3 games and kicked 2 goals in 1926 and as a coincidence; Alf Clay recorded the same stats in 1937, 3 games and 2 goals.

The HFC Debut Order Ties were introduced in March 2003 by the Club to honour and record the order of appearance of the players that have played at least one senior game for the brown & gold.  At the inaugural Hall of Fame Function held in 2003, 217 players and families of deceased players received their Debut Ties.

857 players have now represented the HFC with 55 Missing Hawks or their families remaining to be found.  If interested families or friends of formers players wish to learn if the Hawks Museum is possibly seeking someone they know please check the link to the Missing Hawks, meanwhile the search for the Missing Hawks continues.
