Former West Coast Eagles ruckman Dean Cox has been inducted in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

He played 290 games for the Eagles, earned six All-Australian gongs and named a Club Champion.

Cox spoke with his old friends Steve and Baz about his surprising inclusion.

“In March when I got a missed call from Richard Goyder (AFL Commission Chairman) to ring him back and then for him to say the Commission’s had a meeting and endorsed my name to get put in the Hall of Fame was a real shock, it was a great call to get,” Cox told 6PR Breakfast.
