Never really had a jumper number after 22 (Greening) but I've only ever worn 22 and 42 playing basketball. Could have been tempted to go 9, 19 or 26.

I only ever had 22...Bobby Rose and then Johnny Greening. Didn't need anything after those two!

I think every Young Pie who grew up in the early 70s had his number on his back.

...not everyone. I had #22 on my back.

Yeah I don't know where this "overlooked" business comes from. Acknowledged as one of the game's all time great full forwards.

Yet in an oddity of football life, Peter McKenna is an all time great full forward and yet more like our third best full forward in history. And even then that could be debatable.

WH Lee (Dick to his mates) and Gordon Coventry can fight out the title.

Ron Todd might challenge McKenna though on longevity McKenna should fairly get the nod.

That’s some foursome:

Dick Lee
Gordon Coventry
Peter McKenna
Ron Todd


wow!
