Each year the Hawks Museum honours three players in the exhibit titled 'They Made the Brown and Gold'. 

In 2010, former players Alec Albiston, Terry Wallace and Dean Anderson have been honoured. 

The exhibit is drawn from their personal collections and includes guernseys, trophies and Night Premiership medallions seen on public display for the first time.

Alec Albiston (1936-42 and 1945-49) played 170 games and kicked 383 goals.   Remarkably durable and fit, he never missed a game through injury, playing many outstanding games as an attacking rover. 

He was the first player to kick ten goals in a game for the Club winning two Best and Fairest awards in 1941 and 1946.  Albiston went onto be captain and coach the team in 1947-49.

Terry Wallace (1978-86) played 174 games kicking 96 goals for Hawthorn. Known as The Plough, Wallace had tremendous courage in the packs, forever burrowing after the ball, which made him a top centreman of his era. 

He played in three premierships, 1978, 1983 and 1986 winning the Best & Fairest in 1981 and 1983 and coming third in 1982 and 1985, such was his consistency and importance to the team.

Dean Anderson (1988-92) played 83 games and kicked 74 goals. Anderson’s four goals in the 1989 Grand Final are etched in the memory of all the Hawk fans that saw him starring in that epic game. 

A tireless runner, Anderson played many fine games sweeping across the forward line, including two premierships, 1989 and 1991.

When next visiting Waverley, don’t miss this enlightening display that will bring back many memories of the outstanding service that Alec Albiston, Terry Wallace and Dean Anderson gave to the mighty Hawks.
