Scott Pendlebury on Saturday will run out in the black and white vertical stripes for the 431st time and will move within just one match of joining Brent 'Boomer' Harvey as the record holder for most games played in VFL/AFL history.

Pendlebury debuted way back in Round 10 2006 and he's played with and against some of the all-time greats.

Speaking ahead of Thursday night's Round 7 opener between the Bulldogs and Swans at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night, the 38-year-old was asked by Triple M to list his Top 5 opponents.

"He was the ultimate two-way competitor. He was so tough, hard and physical, and you were almost in awe of him at times because his skill level was off the charts. I love him and I named by dog Lenny after him."
