FIVEaa sports host and South Australian sports identity, Ken ‘KG’ Cunningham has been honoured with the Adelaide oval renaming the media centre after him.
The media centre in the Riverbank Stand at Adelaide Oval will be known as The Ken KG Cunningham Media Centre with the Stadium management authority signing off on the honour overnight.
Adelaide Oval SMA chair Rob Kerin, says, “Like Adelaide Oval itself, Ken is a South Australian icon and we’re absolutely delighted that he has agreed to allow his name to adorn our media centre,” said.
“He played cricket here, he umpired football here and he has spent countless hours here behind a microphone or in front of a camera – so it’s entirely fitting that his name will go on being associated with Adelaide Oval in this way.”
KG told Adelaide’s Advertiser (subscription required) “I’m a bit overwhelmed by the honour, it’s all a bit too much for me,” calling it “the greatest honour that could be bestowed upon me and my family’’
FIVEaa’s breakfast duo David Penberthy & Will Goodings broke the news on their program this morning and spoke to Leith Forrest about the honour bestowed on their colleague.
