J. J. Liston Trophy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from JJ Liston Trophy)
The J. J. Liston Trophy is awarded to the best and fairest senior player in the Victorian Football League (formerly the VFA).
[edit] History
The VFA awarded the Recorder Cup from 1923 to 1941, and also ran a different award known as the VFA Medal (which ran in parallel from 1933 to 1940). '
After a hiatus in 1942 to 1944 due to World War II, a best and fairest award was reintroduced in 1945 as the J. J. Liston Trophy, and has been awarded in the VFA/VFL ever since. The award was named after John James Liston, who was president of the VFA from 1929 to 1943.
