Ken Hands has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to Ken and his family. He is already a Carlton legend but I reckon we should start a campaign to get him up to AFL legend status . At least he made his club's team of the century

Well done to Ken Hands, a great honour indeed.

There are a few very interesting stories from some of the old timers about the tumultuous days when Hands and Francis were vying for the coaching position at Carlton in the late 1950s.

Ecclesiastes 1:4, "One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but The Blues abide forever."

I had one brief encounter with Ken Hands at the footy. Standing in front of the Social Club, I was angrily
disputing an umpiring decision.
A voice behind me said, ''No, that's the correct decision''.

As I turned, blurting out the words ''Bullshit it is'', I found I was in dispute with one Ken Hands.

Stunned, I then blurted out, ''Jesus.........Ken Hands, I'm not arguing with you''. A comment , judging
by the amount of laughter from those in the immediate vicinity, amused others greatly. But only deepened
my enbarrassment.

At the final siren, (we won) I felt a pat on the shoulder, turned, and a smiling Ken Hands said, '' You can
relax now son, the good guys win again''.

Nice Bloke.

Another thing Richard Pratt restored to Carlton is an appreciation of the Club's great history.
