Herald Sun:
Brisbane Lions young gun Justin Sherman knows a bit about following in famous footsteps.
The second cousin of club legend Roger Merrett and the third cousin to Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting, Sherman has inherited the Lions no11 guernsey made famous by Lions great Alastair Lynch.
The jumper was retired for a year to hounour Lynch's oustanding contribution to the club, but has now been handed to a fellow Tasmanian who hopes to do the number similar proud.
Hope he does bring back the good old 11 jumper back to its best
