The AFL community is mourning the death of former Richmond player Shane Tuck, aged 38. Tuck played 173 games for the Tigers before retiring in 2013 and was a life member of the club. He died on Monday morning.
Richmond described Tuck as a courageous and brave player who was loved by his teammates, staff and fans off the field. Richmond will pay tribute to Tuck by wearing black armbands during Friday night’s match against Greater Western Sydney.
Shane Tuck and father Michael sit third on the list of most AFL/VFL games played by a father and son combination, with 599 between them. Michael Tuck was the former individual games record holder with 426 appearances for Hawthorn.
