LIFE MEMBERS

The Monash Whites Football Club first awarded Life Membership at the end
of the 1987 season.  There were five recipients of this honour in its first year
- Peter Brooker, Pat Cain, Colin Crampton, Doug Ellis and Keith Frearson -
and, with the exception of 1989, a single Life Membership was bestowed
every year until the end of 1995.
 

In 2008 the Whites' Committee recognised the importance of this honour and it
was re-established based on the attached criteria.  The Club re-commenced the
awarding of Life Membership at the Reunion Match on the 5th of July, 2008.
 

Here we list some of the achievements and contributions of our Life Members.
