Hawthorn's four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson has received another accolade with the club awarding him life membership at their annual general meeting.

The 50-year-old joined the club as coach in 2005 when the Hawks were close to the bottom of the ladder and played a key role in their ascension to one of the game's biggest and best clubs.

In his 14 seasons they have played in five grand finals and 10 finals series and his winning percentage after 329 games is an extraordinary 62.61 percent.

The Hawks also recognised two former members of the football department who were key to that success. David Rath, who is now at the AFL, and Andrew Russell, who joined Carlton this season, were also recognised with the honour while current physiotherapist Andrew Lambart earned life membership.
