Bumped Heritier Lumumba - Retired today 21/12/2016 (see post #82)

[Pies_Iceman]

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Heritier Lumumba for 199 games at the Mighty Pies. Although sometimes a bit of a quirky character, had the class and respect to attend the B&F even though he knew he wouldn't playing in 2015 with the Black and White.

Congratulations and good luck with the future.

Thankyou Lumumba for your contribution to this club. Always remember the times you get past three or more players and then kick the ball long. Good luck at Melbourne.

Hope Harry has fun at his new home.
Premiership players don't grow o trees, so I hope he gets what he wants out of the rest of his life.

I loved Big H, although he was frustrating on and off field for the last couple of years. Would love for him to reach 250 games.

Thanks H!! A wonderful player for the Pies at his peak but it's best for both parties for a change. Always welcome back!!! He'll be good for Melbourne.


I tipped H to be Australian of the Year 4 years back. Not saying it will be during his AFL career .... just at some point when he finds his niche.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Good thread. Thanks for a wonderful career at Collingwood and particularly enjoyed watching you in the 2010 GF. All the best for your next career at Melbourne.

 

[Smoky]

Thanks Prince

 

[MyManLynch]

Well done H, good luck at Melbourne.
Premiership player...consistent performer.
Thanks for your efforts & contribution.

Think I might watch the 2010 Prelim tonight. Seeing Leigh Brown's leg spin goal will make me feel better...

Many fond memories. Not bad for a young bloke who came right across the country to give his best shot with the biggest club in the land.

A different cat with a massive heart. Not many of us have to grow up under the glare of such a massive spotlight. You've certainly added some vibrant threads to the living tapestry that is the Collingwood Football Club.

Who would have thought a month ago that we would have been slamming the door behind Beams and thanking Lumumba for his service and wishing him luck.

Give respect, get respect.

 

[donnie5]

Thanks H! Will always remember you as a premiership player for us. Good luck with the Dees!

 

[Anzacday]

All the good stuff said before me - agree

 

[RuFiO]

Thank you to The Gifted One for gracing us with his presence.

 

[golazo]

Thank you Harry.... for sparing us the melodrama in 2015.

Good luck Harry! Will always remember the goal in the 2010 GF!

At least you had the decency to show up to the B&F

Goodnight sweet prince.

 

[Schraderbrau]

very consistent player over his 200 game career as well.

 

[Jonno94]

People forget we got him with a rookie pick, he was very underrated for us over his career. Goodluck H.

 

[Pera]

Seriously underrated around here. Premiership, All-Australian, 5 times in the top 5 of the B&F. People often overlook his on field achievements because of the s**t he pulls off it. Seriously good player in our time with us and its sad he didn't reach the 200 game barrier. He deserved it.

 

[golazo]

People forget we got him with a rookie pick

If we didn't let him stink it up for years before he came good, a rookie is all he would have remained

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Well done H on a fantastic career at the Pies. Started your career the hard way through the rookie list and ended up a 199 game Premiership player. Good luck at the D's!
