Ron Barassi’s famous autograph

Ron’s autograph stands out.

You can actually read the name. As Ron says, “What’s the point of getting a signature if a couple of years later you don’t know whose it is?”

And the numbers under his signature?

Ron wore 31, a number he made famous, in honour of his father. The number 17410 signifies “17 Grand Finals for 10 Premierships” during his career at four different clubs.

By amazing coincidence, 17+4+10 equals 31.
