Anyway, Happy Birthday to the greatest club on earth, may the next 119 be as grand and as fruitful as the first 119.

It was on February 12 1892 in a crowded Collingwood Town Hall that the endorsement and thus creation of the Collingwood Football Club occurred.
After months of petitioning by the town auditor E.L. Wilson and local landowner Alan Mansfield for the Victoria Football Association (VFA) to accept Collingwood as the 13th league club, a meeting was called on February 12 to invite men and women living in Collingwood to endorse the creation of the Club.
