Geoff Hunt celebrity print 1976

Summary

This concrete handprint was formerly located as a part of the iconic McEwans celebrity pavement. Between 1972 and 1994, scores of celebrities had their handprints and footprints immortalised in cement at the entrance to the McEwans hardware store on Bourke Street. The City of Melbourne Art and Heritage Collection acquired a number of these impressed concrete slabs from the original celebrity pavement in 2005.

"Geoff Hunt (born 1947) was ranked the World No. 1 squash player from 1975 to 1980. As an amateur, during the 1960s, he won several international titles, and was eight-times winner of the British Open (before the inception of the World Open in 1976, the world’s premier international title)." - Robyn Annear, 2023
