- Looked identical to his hero, with fake tattoos, a mohawk and uniform to match
A young boy dressed as his hero Dustin Martin complete with fake tattoos and a menacing mohawk stole the show at a TV special ahead of the AFL Grand Final.
The pint-sized star melted hearts when he walked onto the set of The Footy Show on Thursday night holding the hand of his idol and rocking a Richmond Tigers uniform.
Ollie, 5, flashed a huge grin as he confidently strolled onto the set, proudly holding a tiny Dustin Martin figurine as the real deal Brownlow Medalist walked next to him.

The pint-sized star was picked from 550 kids to star in this year’s NAB Mini Legends Campaign
Controversial host Sam Newman lifted Ollie onto the table, where he was only just at head height with Martin and Collingwood President Eddie McGuire.
‘Who’s your favourite player?,’ asked McGuire.
‘Dusty,’ Ollie cutely replied.
‘If I give you $1000 will you barrack for Collingwood?,’ joked Eddie.
‘No,’ answered Ollie, drawing laughter from the panel and audience.
The five-year-old, who was given Martin’s Brownlow Medal to wear for the segment, was chosen out of 550 kids to star in this year’s NAB Mini Legends Campaign.
‘I have been practising Dusty’s ‘don’t argue’ in the hallway at home with my brother,’ he told the Herald Sun before the campaign launch last month.
