In 2023 when Georges River Council were working to complete the new Players’ Pavilion at Hurstville Oval, they ran a public consultation to choose an appropriate local to be commemorated in the building’s name. St George DCC knew that there was one name that had to be included, not that of an outstanding player, of which there have been many worthy of recognition, but rather someone who had achieved off the field. The Club recommended and had accepted Les Blackshaw.
