Life Members

Since 1947, Life Membership of the Parramatta Eels has been a special acknowledgement awarded to people who have made an outstanding contribution to the Club. 

In 2017, long time Junior League Administrator Jan Bryen and Football Operations assistant Denis Anderson were added to the Eels Life Members list for their multi decade’s service to the Club and the Eels Community. Bryen’s Life Membership is a historic one, as the Club awarded its first female Life Membership. 

Most recent induction: Tim Mannah and John Monie Eels award Life Memberships to Mannah & Monie | Eels (parraeels.com.au)
