Aberdeen's Sporting Hall of Famers gather at Aberdeen Sports Village




How many names can you put to faces of Aberdeen's Sporting Hall of Fame members, gathered at the Aberdeen Sports Village, Linksfield Road on Friday evening when, several years after the original idea, the city's Sporting Hall of Fame was officially launched?
We'll give you a helping hand - that's Walker Cup player Sandy Pirie second from the left, Curtis Cup player and current GB and I women's golf team captain Elaine Farquharson-Black fifth from the left, Scotland badminton international Tony Dawson seated extreme right with Ryder Cup player Harry Bannerman standing behind him.

Others in the picture include: judo expert Bill Berry, rugby international Ian McCrae, Tracey Robb Menzies (hockey), Anne Robb Boyle (ski-ing), Sheena Sharp (shooting) and tennis kingpin Jimmy Wood.
