Champions of Collingwood - Book Signing
Written by club historian Michael Roberts and the Herald Sun's Glenn McFarlane, this new 464-page book tells the stories of all 125 players, reflecting on not just what made them great footballers but also why we, as fans, loved them so much.
Champions of Collingwood includes many never-before-seen photos from the club's archives and personal collections. It is a magnificent, high quality, hardback publication that every Magpie supporter will be proud to own.
The book will be available for purchase at the Collingwood Superstore at the Holden Centre now, and is currently available for purchase.

Our commemorative jumper
To mark the Collingwood Football Club's 125th anniversary, the team will be wearing a special commemorative guernsey against Carlton in round seven.
This limited edition collectors’ item is an acknowledgment of our rich and storied past.
The 125th commemorative emblem features on the chest, while Good Old Collingwood Forever is written within the middle black stripe.
The black pinstripe is appropriated from the Collingwood guernseys worn throughout the 1950s, and includes a list of the 15 VFL/ AFL premierships won down the centre.
And, appropriately, all logos featured on the guernsey will be Black and White.
