Toast Player's number you wore.

[GoTigers2015]

Hello Richmond faithful,

I thought I would give it a go posting a thread.

Back in the 70's as a kid I went to my first Richmond game at the Lakeside Oval. That day one of our half forwards starred kicking a bag full of goals. As a result I wore number 11 on my back for the rest of the 70's. That player was of course Bruce Monteath, All Australian, Michael Roach medallist and our last premiership captain.

So who's number did / do you wear and what makes you choose that player's number.

I wore Disco Roach's No.8 on both my Richmond jumper and dufflecoat. He took screamers and kicked bags, that's why.

A couple of years later I got an Esso training top and put No.17 on it because Maurice Rioli was a genius.

I would have to agree 2 quality players. Disco was a goal kicking machine and had that X factor. Maurice Rioli probably the greatest player I have seen in yellow and black. Saw us player the Demons (not sure what year) and it was a clash between Mr Magic and Robbie Flower for BOG.

Great bump on Gary O'Donnell in 95 SF. Turned the momentum of the game our way

Was a booming kick.

Richo as a kid, and then recently #17 as I figured it would always be a number in use and wont be that guy with a vacant number on and it'll be the skip... cheers Trent.

Barry Rowlings, #22. The jumpers at my junior club where numbered 1 to 22, with 1 the smallest and 22 the biggest. It was just practical for me to take the biggest jumper in the bag, playing in a team of short people that started on the durries before they had pubes.

Follow Liverpool too, but Barnes was the player I loved to watch.

True, but I was too old for numbers when Barnes got to Liverpool.

Some legend better take over it...

Funny enough I have had lots of jumpers but never worn a number...

 

[Hate]

I purchased a jumper with Lids' #3 on it a few years back, have stuck with the #3 on jumpers since then.
