It is named after former footballer Marcus Ashcroft, who played junior football on the Gold Coast for Surfers Paradise and Southport as well as 318 games for the Brisbane Bears/Lions between 1989 and 2003. He was both an integral member of Brisbane’s triple premiership team and the first Queenslander to play 300 AFL games. He is also a member of Queensland’s AFL Team of the Century.[1]
