When Brent Harvey ran onto Etihad Stadium on Sunday, he received a champion’s reception.

More than 300 enthusiastic youngsters made a guard of honour and created unique and memorable sight.

Most of these children were not even born when the North Melbourne captain first graced the field, but even in their young years, the love of the number 29 was clear.
