WHO AM I?
I am the only wearer of the #56 guernsey in Carlton history, and I am the only Carlton player to possess games records for 2 jumper numbers, playing in a Premiership in my 2nd and more famous number.
Answer:
Ang Christou is the only wearer of the #56 guernsey in Carlton history, and is oddly enough the only Carlton player to possess Games Records for 2 jumpers, the #56 and the #39 he was famous for.
WHO AM I?
I am the only Carlton player to play 100 games in the #45 guernsey.
Answer:
Anthony Franchina became the first Blue to play 100 games in the #45 jumper, before handing it over to Aisake O'hAilpin, who will become the 8th Blue to wear the #45 in battle in 2008, barring a late number change.
WHO ARE WE?
We are the only two Carlton players to have worn guernsey #47 to Premiership success.
Answer:
#47 is a special high number, with premiership success aplenty, both through the Guernsey itself and as a stepping stone for other Carlton favourites. Neil Chandler wore it in the 1968 premiership before moving on to 22 and playing in 2 more premierships, while Peter Francis played all 47 of his Carlton games in the jumper, including the 1979 Premiership, providing a nice little mystical twist to the Guernsey.
