Wark Inducted Into Scottish Football Hall of Fame - Ipswich Town News

Town legend John Wark was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame at a dinner at Hampden Park last night.

Glasgow-born Wark, 59, won 29 Scotland caps, scoring seven goals, and as well as his FA Cup and UEFA Cup while with Town, twice won the league with Liverpool.

Also inducted last night were Celtic’s Lisbon Lion Stevie Chalmers, former Leeds and Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister, ex-St Mirren and Aberdeen boss Alex Smith and late Rangers, Leicester and Colchester manager Jock Wallace, while there was a special tribute to already-inducted ex-Gers boss Walter Smith.

This year’s inductees were nominated by fans before a panel reduced the list down to five.
