Brilliant centreman Don Hewett was a fine servant of the Glenelg Football Club in 121 SANFL games between 1954 and 1962.  He also booted 83 goals, and was a South Australian interstate representative 4 times.  

Regularly confronted by illness and injury problems (predominately knee injuries), his courage was said by Bays secretary [[Ray Curnow]] to be "a legend in our club".   Energetic, dashing and constructive, Hewett quit league football while still at his peak, having just won the Tigers' best and fairest award, and aged just twenty-eight, in order to coach the club from which he originally hailed, South Whyalla.

Inaugural inductee to Glenelg's Hall of Fame.
