RAY LAWRENCE: Ray “Bullet” Lawrence was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990 at the National Titles held in the Northern Territory that year. Ray became involved in Touch Football at the age of 32, by playing a social game in Manly. He was then recruited into a local side, and a short time later represented The Manly District in the NSW Region Competition. In 1983 he was selected for NSW in the State Men’s Senior Team, and since then has represented the State of NSW for 14 years in a row. His speed and skill continued to impressed selectors for 14 years straight, and as such each year was selected to represent Australia.

KERRY NORMAN: Kerry was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991 after becoming involved with Touch in 1981 because a team playing near her husband's team was short of players. Kerry has developed to be not only one of Australia's most accomplished representatives but also a very successful coach. She is currently coach of the Australian Womens Open side.

SCOTT NOTLEY: Scott started playing Touch in 1982 because he felt the game suited him more than Rugby.
