Barry Rowlings will be Richmond’s final Homecoming Hero for 2015 . . .

The Tigers are set to pay tribute to Rowlings, who was recently inducted into the Club’s Hall of Fame, in the pre-game build-up at this Sunday afternoon’s Round 20 match against Gold Coast at the MCG.

Rowlings, a key member of Richmond’s 1980 premiership side, Club captain from 1983-84, and a Jack Dyer Medallist in 1979, will walk to the Punt Road end of the ground, where he will receive rightful recognition from the Tiger Army.

He will then proceed to kick a ceremonial goal, before signing the football and presenting it to a Richmond fan in the crowd.

Highlights of Rowlings’ top-class career with the Tigers also will be shown on the MCG’s screens.
