DUAL Brownlow medallist Robert Harvey will be elevated to club legend status at St Kilda’s Hall of Fame event on Saturday, April 9.

Harvey, already an AFL and St Kilda Hall of Fame member, will become the eighth legend alongside club greats Darrel Baldock, Ian Stewart, Allan Jeans, Tony Lockett, Trevor Barker, Neil Roberts and Ross Smith.

Harvey, who played 383 games over 21 years, won back-to-back Brownlow Medals in 1997-98 and won four club best and fairests and eight All Australian nods.

Harvey told saints.com.au he was humbled by the honour.

"A few years ago now I was inducted into the St Kilda Hall of Fame, that was a great honour, so to be among names that have been through the club, you still don’t get used to it," Harvey said.

"To be elevated alongside players like Ian Stewart, Tony Lockett, Darrel Baldock … I was lucky enough to play footy with 'Plugger', I was coached by 'Doc' Baldock … it's a huge honour."

Harvey, now the senior assistant coach at Collingwood, played his final match in St Kilda’s losing 2008 preliminary final, but said his bond with the club was still strong.

"To spend so much time at one place and to put so much love in to one place it’s never going to leave you," Harvey said.

"It’s always great to go back and obviously I'm in a different role at a different club so you’ve got your head in that as well but that part of me will never be gone.

"And to always go back and see old faces that I haven’t seen for a long time it’s a fantastic feeling."

The Saints will also use the night to celebrate their 1966 premiership anniversary.
