Former East Sydney Premiership coach, Austin Robertson Jnr, this week has been inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame.
Robertson, who played Full Forward for South Melbourne in the VFL, took over the reins of the Bulldogs in 1976 and had instant success, guiding his side to a 13 goal victory over North Shore in the SFL GF.
He predominantly played in the WAFL where he kicked a record career tally of 1211 goals.
In 1968, Robertson booted 162 goals.
A Premiership player for Subiaco, Robertson kicked 100 goals in a season six times.
After moving to Sydney, Robertson helped Kerry Packer set up World Series Cricket and became the manager for stars like Steve Waugh and Shane Warne.
