A new home for The Sports Hall of Fame

The New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame exhibition in Dunedin is now closed while we prepare for an exciting move north. Later this year the exhibition will re-open inside the Grassroots Trust Velodrome in Cambridge, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for visitors and fans
Tom Baxter
Inducted in 1996
During a seven-year international career, Baxter played a record 94 games for the Kiwis, including 29 tests, and was reckoned to be the most punishing centre in world league.
Sporting Category:
  • Rugby League
He scored tries in notable Kiwi victories over Australia in 1949 and France in 1951 and, such was his size, was a difficult player to stop when on the burst.

He captained the Kiwis in Australia and Britain in 1955-56 before what many judges considered to be a premature retirement.

He scored 23 tries for New Zealand, plus a hat-trick in an interisland match and created countless others for his teammates.
