Richmond superstar Dustin Martin continued a grand Tigerland tradition this year, wearing the decorated No. 4 guernsey with such distinction in another Yellow and Black premiership triumph.
The No. 4 guernsey is the only guernsey number that’s been worn in all of the Club’s 13 AFL/VFL premierships.
But in terms of the guernsey number that’s been worn by the most Richmond premiership players, No. 2 is number one at Punt Road.
Eight players have worn the No. 2 guernsey to premiership success with the Tigers, putting it just ahead of No. 1 and No. 11, both with seven.
No. 4 has had six premiership players all-up, as has No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 9.
