The oldest living Wallaby player Eric Tweedale will have a stadium named after him.

Ray Hadley had lobbied the Cumberland City Council who voted unanimously to name the Granville Park stadium in honour of the 99-year-old.

Mayor Steve Christou told Mark Levy the stadium should be completed in March, weather permitting.

“We’re very proud of Eric, he’s a living legend around here.

“He still comes down and watches club games, participates in the club song.”
