Did Peter Burgoyne senior wear no 7 in the late 70’s?
Peter still in great nick! That does not look like a father/ son photo.
Rohan Smith stands out like the proverbial in that list.Yes you remember correctly. Philpy wore 13 for the Magpies. He also wore 22 for a while and 13 again.

The numbers game
It's always interesting to see people's attachment to player numbers, as was raised in one of the 2009 number threads. I thought it might be fun to see how many player names we can attach to the numbers, and have a bit of a historical roll call of PAFC players and the numbers they wore. Feel...www.bigfooty.com
Chris Natt when did he become no 8?No, Chris Natt and Mark Dawson.
If you just landed from Timbuktu & someone told you it was his 35 year old brother you wouldn't blink.Peter still in great nick! That does not look like a father/ son photo.
The metric equivalent is 181!69er everyone's a winner

Another player who did the no 13 proud was Mark Dolling in the 2000’s
Do you know which player wore the number 7 before Dave Gill?I think when Russell came back from North Melbourne. Bucky was captain, so Russell went back to his old number. Dawson only played the 1979 season with Port.
Do you know which player wore the number 7 before Dave Gill?
I can recall him wearing that number from the early 1960's until he retired in 1967 and then it was given to Russell in 1968, but apparently Dave first wore it as early as 1957.
This is the list of wearers of #7 that I have ... Billy Whicker played 1931-40, Peter Marrett 1947-53 and 1955, Alan Blagrove 1955-59 so I suspect it was one of the latter two. Although John Dewhirst also played during the 6 in a row era (1957-58, in the 1957 premiership team).
07 - Xavier Duursma, Brad Ebert, Peter Burgoyne, Brett Chalmers, John Rombotis, Russell Ebert, Steven Curtis, Roger Delaney, Chris Natt, Mark Dawson, Dave Gill, Billy Whicker, Peter Marrett, Allan Blagrove, John Dewhirst

Marlon Motlop wore 7 between Burgoyne and Ebert.
He wore 11 initially but then took the 7 and didn't play a game in it. At least that's my memory of it.
