Another clue...

A famous grandson of 1919 premiership player (His grandfather retired early and went on to win the Stawell Gift in 1924). Nephew of the three 1953 premiership winning brothers.

Injury ravaged career from 1979 to 1985. 63 games and 14 goals.

Solid back flanker, who had so much more to offer the game.

The Collingwood Cavemen FC and yes the ground IS Victoria Park.

I interviewed his Uncle Mick under the Bob Rose Stand for Channel 31 just a few weeks earlier too. It was an amazing experience to talk 'good old Collingwood' with a genuine Collingwood legend. One of very few Magpies alive to boast two premierships to his name as well.

What a great Collingwood family.

OK. David Twomey was the answer. Grandson of Bill Senior and nephew to Mick, Pat and Bill Junior.


New Question:

Who is the only league coach in history to have coached a team to a premiership and has never coached a losing team?

Correctamundo Pebbles.

1 Game
1 Win
1 Premiership

Jock was crook as a dog that day.

Interesting how Syd Coventry came out and said after the 1929 triumph over Richmond "We have won it, now we shall rest a while"

Your question Pebbles.

But, but.... didn't we have a "winning culture" back then? ;)

Cheers 8)

Round 13 1987 was one of the darkest days of the Collingwood F.C.

Against North Melbourne at a waterlogged VFL Park infront of just 17,000 people the Senior side kicked just 2 6 18 and lost by 54 points (BT kicked both goals) The Reserves didn't do much better and kicked 2 3 15.

Q: What did the U/19's kick that day?
