As the saying goes, a picture's worth a thousand words . . .

That being the case, we here at richmondfc.com.au have decided to delve into our photographic archives to provide you with some pictorial nostalgic nuggets throughout 2019.

The series continues today with this photo of Michael Roach.

As the world prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, we're celebrating this astonishing mark taken by Richmond's superstar spearhead Michael Roach against Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 5 of the 1979 season.

Roach launched himself into orbit to take the ultimate 'specky' that subsequently was judged the best mark in Tigerland's league football history.
