Like this a lot.

Melbourne and Richmond will pay tribute to Australian Football Hall of Famer Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes on Anzac Day Eve.

Foxfooty.com.au can reveal an annual best on ground medal will be awarded in his honour, starting with this year’s game on April 24 at the MCG.

Hughes was a dual premiership player and one-time premiership coach for the Tigers before leading Melbourne to the 1939, 1940, 1941 and 1948 flags.

    Not many people would know that, apart from his football achievements, Checker also inspired Johnny Rotten to write that famous chorus "No fuchsias, no fuchsias, no fuchsias for me".
