Aussie sports broadcasting icon Bruce McAvaney was given a standing ovation at the 2022 TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday night after becoming the latest inductee into the Hall of Fame.
Speaking on Sunday, and emotional McAvaney said:
We don’t get many chances to reflect on our working life. It’s always a matter of planning for the next big sporting event, always looking forward. But something like this makes you look back.
And the overwhelming emotion is feeling you’re not worthy. You’ve been the recipient of incredible opportunities which have taken you into people’s lounge rooms. And supported by teams of specialists whose job is to make you look and sound good.
I’m a passionate sports lover, of stats and stories, and so are many other people and I think it’s a measure of what sport means to Australians to have been awarded this honour.
