From the West Torrens book published last year, Hank also wore no.8 in 1945 and no.6 in 1946. From 1956 to 1958 he wore no.10.
Head wore no.22 in his first season (1952), then no.17 from 1953-70.

Who was asking?
What number was Hank Lindner (Don's brother) at North Adelaide? Not that he was a legend - just for curiosity sake.
I recall him wearing No.3, but he may have worn others.
What do you mean he wasn't a legend? He cleaned up Ron Barassi in a State Game!
Also Hawk is right he wore #3. Don't know if ever had another number.

Looking at some old footy budgets, it appears Theo "Hank" Lindner wore the number 3 up to the end of the 1964 season. He didn't play a game in 1965, and when he resumed his place in the team in 1966, Robert Taylor had taken the 3 jumper, so he wore 11 that season. He only played 3 games in 1967, and I found him listed as No 27 for that season. Peter Anderson wore 3 in 1967.
