ROBERT HUGHES
Arguably the greatest player in the history of the Tuggeranong Football Club, Robert Hughes represented the club - which was originally known as Sutherland - right from the outset of its involvement in the ACTAFL in 1979. Despite the fact that Sutherland finished 2nd last in its debut season, Hughes demonstrated emphatically that he was a new star in the making by finishing as runner up in the Mulrooney Medal. He also won the Sutherland best and fairest award, the first of three in succession, and six in total, he would land.
Described by Ron Fowlie as "a gifted and dedicated player who toughed it out in the club's hard days", Robert Hughes finally tasted the ultimate success in 1986 when Tuggeranong scored a thrilling 1 point grand final win over Queanbeyan. This remains the clubs only senior premiership win.
The esteem in which he is regarded in ACT football circles was clearly demonstrated in 1999 when he was included in the official 'ACT Legends' team chosen to commemorate 75 years of football in the territory.

Luke Jess is regarded as one of the greatest players to pull on a Tuggeranong jumper. His courage and leadership not only earned him the respect of everyone at the Tuggeranong Football Club but also the league, which was shown by his Mulrooney Medal win and ACT representative selection throughout his career. His ability was also recognised when he was selected in the TFC 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee team in 2003.
