Glen Jakovich Biography

WA legend Glenn Jakovich has returned serve on Victorian rival Garry Lyon as the State of Origin war of words heats up.

Lyon, the Victorian chairman of selectors, wants the Big V to belt WA when they face off at Optus Stadium on February 14.

"Oh Garry, Garry. I don't think Garry has had too much success in big games here in WA," Jakovich mused.

"I'm not sure if he was part of that demolition of Victoria on that nice night of June in 1991. We belted them by 76 points."

Dean Cox will break the West Coast games record this week against Geelong and he says reaching 300 games is not out of the question.

Cox will play his 277th match at Simonds Stadium on Saturday night to go past Glen Jakovich's club record of 276.

"It's a lot of games," Cox said.

"I suppose getting to Jako's record wasn't a massive goal but I'm proud of what I've done in my footy career, to be able to represent this great club so many times.

"So 300, if it happens it happens, who knows? But it's not a focus point of mine."

Premiership coaches Mick Malthouse and John Worsfold are among those inducted into West Coast's Hall of Fame.

Others inducted include Glen Jakovich, Dean Kemp, Chris Lewis, Peter Matera, Guy McKenna and former head trainer Bill Sutherland.
