The former Port Adelaide and North Melbourne midfielder is considered one of the greatest footballer's South Australia has ever produced.
He played 391 games and won three premierships for Port Adelaide in the SANFL.
Ebert was also a four-time Magarey Medallist as the SANFL's best and fairest player.
He played one season for North Melbourne in 1979, helping the VFL club reach the preliminary final.
Just two weeks ago Ebert was elevated to legend status in the South Australian Sport Hall of Fame.
"I'm uncomfortable being elevated above others, but I honestly believe this is about the contribution of my family, the club and community that have contributed along the way," Ebert said at the time.
"These types of awards are for everyone no matter what small or large part they have played and so I thank everyone for their contribution to my journey and in this acknowledgement.
"They all deserve a piece of the acknowledgement for themselves."
Ebert is the father of former Port forward Brett Ebert, and the uncle of former West Coast and Port midfielder Brad Ebert.
