West Coast and South Fremantle champion Peter Matera is now officially a legend of football in his home state.

The Noongar wingman, Eagles premiership hero and five-time All Australian was elevated to Legend status in the West Australian Football Hall of Fame on Monday night.

Matera played 60 WAFL games with South Fremantle before following his brother Wally to the national competition for 253 AFL appearances with the Eagles between 1990 and 2002.

He played instrumental roles in the '92 and '94 grand final triumphs - including kicking five majors from the wing in a Norm Smith Medal-winning performance to lift the club's first premiership cup.

Matera was elevated to a Legend alongside dual Sandover Medallist, East Fremantle and South Fremantle champion Ray Sorrell at Monday's ceremony.

Fijian ruckman Nick Naitanui was inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside peers Harry Taylor, Josh Kennedy, Dave Mundy and Phil Kelly, James Clement and media veteran Alan East.

Raised in the state's Wheatbelt town of Wagin, Matera retired from the game as an Eagles best and fairest and two-time Brownlow runner up later being named in the AFL's Indigenous Team of the Century.

He was inducted into WA and the AFL's Halls of Fame in 2006, as well as West Coast's.

The four-time State of Origin representative, his first selection coming prior to landing at the Eagles, later turned to coaching in WAFL club set ups.

He is also a member of WA and VFL/AFL Italian Teams of the Century.

In recent years, Phil Krakouer and two-time Sandover Medallist Allastair Pickett were named in the WA Football Hall of Fame.

They joined the likes of champions and trailblazers Graham 'Polly' Farmer, Bill Dempsey, Syd Jackson and Stephen Michael as inductees.
