Local sporting heroes featured in Hall of Fame

Great sporting athletes from the City of Liverpool, New South Wales will be celebrated in exhibitions featuring their lives and successes over the coming years.

The Mayor of Liverpool, Ned Mannoun, said the decision to mount exhibitions at the Liverpool City Library featuring the athletes would provide a way to celebrate and acknowledge the depth of talent held by sports women and men from the area.

Mannoun claimed that the exhibitions, which would include individuals such as cricketing great Michael Clarke and swimmer Cindy-Lu Fitzpatrick, are to become a permanent fixture in the city’s Library. It is likely that the ‘Liverpool Sports Hall of Fame’ at the Library will be advertised using brochure printing to highlight the area’s points of interest.

Each year a new set of local sporting icons would be featured in the exhibitions which will run for 12 months.

The first exhibition, which opened in this month, included a host of sporting memorabilia including a pair of gloves and cricket bat used by Michael Clarke when he achieved his 329 not out record-breaking tally against India in 2012.

The Mayor said the next exhibition planned for the venue would include items from the Champion Horseracing collection of the Ingham family. Mannoun went on to state that input, ideas and memorabilia from the community were encouraged to help grow the exhibition.
