Bomber Jumper Numbers you wore as a supporter?

#10 for John Coleman, even though he hadn’t played for about 20 years by then.

There were 2 pretty good footballers after John Colemen wearing no 10 you could also be proud of. Alan Noonan and Garry Foulds.

Yes, I know. That is why #10 was once the best number at Essendon.

Gary O’Donnell said he was “stoked” when he was awarded that number.

Unfortunately it has lost a LOT of lustre since then. I guess like most things at Essendon.

Playing in the same era as Jack Clark I used #1, but when #1 was unavailable, it had to be #11 as John Birt was my next favourite.
