Frank Johnson, star Port Melbourne player and best-and-fairest winner with South, was my great uncle, but I never saw him play as I'm too young. Can anyone in the know tell me what his jumper number was with the Borough?

The guy I would usually rely on seems to have cancelled his account.
I cant remember his jumper # but he was a great and very fair player in both the VFA and VFL with Port Melb and South Melb.
He didnt go to South till he was 29 after coaching South Warnambool for 2 seasons.
He was made an All Australian in the 1953 and 1956 Carnivals playing for the VFA against all the best ruckmen in Australia.He played 165 games for Port and 64 for South.
