The Carlton Football Club congratulates Carlton Great Ken Hands on his induction into the AFL Hall of Fame.

A dual premiership player and former coach of the Carlton Football Club, Hands was selected in Carlton's Team of the 20th Century and was inducted as a Legend of the Carlton Football Club in 2006.

His induction into the AFL Hall of Fame is a fitting recognition for the Carlton champion's outstanding contribution to the game.

To appreciate his the outstanding role he has played with the Carlton Football Club one only has to talk to AFL Legend John Nicholls who speaks glowingly on the positive influence Hands had on the Club and in particular on the young John Nicholls when he commenced his Carlton career.

When Carlton supporters think of the leaders of a generation at the Carlton Football Club they speak of Hands, Nicholls and Kernahan.

Congratulations Ken Hands.
