Number 1 and number...20?

I can remember him in 8 ...and I reckon he also wore a number in the 30's as well.

LOL! Seems a guessing game at the moment. Magpie Greg probably remembers.

A bit too long ago for me.

Des carried number 30 early in his career. I think he went to 1 when he took over the captaincy. He wore 8 for a while as well. I was under the impression that he got 8 when he returned from the Bumblers.

Onya Canberra. That's close enough. As you said he began his career with no. 30 (62-65), then wore no. 1 as captain (66-69), moved to no.8 when he relinquished the captaincy (70-71), then wore no.1 again in 76 when he returned from essendon, and also wore no.3 in 77.

Therefore, the answer is 30, 1, 8 and 3.

Ah.... someone got it!. C'mon Canberra, a question that people younger than 50 would be able to answer..

OK. An easy one. Give us the highest number ever worn by a player in a AFL/VFL game. Add the player and the club he played for.

Was it Shaun Renn...52 for the Crows?

Not sure if other clubs had senior players with numbers higher than 60.
In 1987-1990 I think Collingwood had Terry Keays at least initially wearing number 60. I'm more confident that in 1991 Collingwood had Stephen Anderson wearing number 60. I remember he played in the drawn game against St. Kilda in round 4 at Moorabbin.

Nope. Number not high enough.

Mr Pieman · Post by **Mr Pieman** » Mon May 31, 2004 6:36 pm

Didn't Canberra wear no. 56?

Canberra · Post by **Canberra** » Mon May 31, 2004 7:02 pm

Good get Mr P but my AFL/VFL career resides in my imagination. By the way the number is even higher than mine.

Did Liberatore wear 60 or 61 or something ridiculous when he first went to Footscray?

Wasn't there a player who played for the Saints/Bears waring the number 60? Can't remember his name...
