Terry Wallace rates as one of football’s greatest bargains. He was residentially bound to Fitzroy and played for Camberwell in the VFA. Fitzroy swapped him to Hawthorn for a player and paid the Hawks $15,000!  

Not overly blessed with pace, Wallace had tremendous courage in the packs, which made him a top centreman. His nickname of “Plough” was an apt way to describe his football style. He burrowed into packs and although his play lacked glamor, he was considered the best centreman of his era. Wallace regularly racked up huge tallies of possessions and with his strong attacking play, enabled the Hawks to win many games.  

Wallace made his debut in 1978, playing his first game in R1 against Melbourne.   He cemented his place in the team and played every game that season, including the Club’s fourth premiership, in only his 25^th game with the Hawks.  

With his determined approach to the game, Wallace became something of a cult figure with the Hawks’ fans. He was a driving force behind two more flags, 1983 and in 1986, the year he was made vice-captain.  Along the way he won the Best & Fairest award in 1981 and 1983 and to underline his consistency, he also came third in 1982 and 1985.
