"His legacy serves as an inspiration to football enthusiasts around the world and it's our role to help shine a light on these astounding stories from the beautiful game."Stewart Regan, the Crook-born former CEO of the Scottish FA who presided over the induction ceremony, said Greenwell was a "prestigious footballer and pioneer".National Football MuseumJack Greenwell's award was presented to his former clubs Crook Town and West AucklandGreenwell became the 196th person to be inducted, joining the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Bobby Robson and Jill Scott.Messages of support were sent from clubs including Barcelona and Valencia, while a trophy was presented to Greenwell's former clubs Crook Town and West Auckland by Sunderland's 1973 FA Cup winner Dennis Tueart.
