North Melbourne has paid the ultimate tribute to Brent Harvey, announcing his iconic number 29 jumper is to be retired indefinitely.
Learning of the news on Tuesday morning, Harvey said he was truly humbled.
“I didn’t expect the number 29 to be retired, I think it’s a fantastic gesture though from the football club,” he told NMFC.com.au.
‘Boomer’ tormented opposition sides in 29 for more than two decades. In it, he received countless awards, won a premiership and took home a remarkable five Syd Barker medals. He also broke the AFL games record and became a living legend.
Harvey says this honour is one he’ll be forever grateful for.
“[I’m] obviously very privileged that the club have chosen to do that,” he added.
