Description: A statue of Jim Stynes outside the MCG. The sign next to the statue says: Jim Stynes is one of the most inspiring figures in the history of Australian sport. Arriving from Ireland in 1984, aged 18, he joined Melbourne Football Club's ambitious international recruitment program, having never played Australian football. During a 264-game VFL/AFL career with Melbourne, he played a record 244 consecutive games from 1987–98. His supreme athleticism redefined the role of the modern day ruckman. He became the first non-Australian born player to claim the Brownlow Medal (1991) and won four club best and fairests. In 2000, he was named in Melbourne's Team of the Century and was inducted into Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2003.
