If you had to bring back an ex Collingwood player from the past...

[Coin_Toss]

Who would it be?

Peter Daicos for me. I would love to see Daics roam around our forward line kicking freakish goals again.

 

[FIGJAM]

I've answered this question the same for 7 years straight:

Len Thompson

 

[D_T_J]

No brainer... bring back Rowdy.

 

[Coin_Toss]

No brainer... bring back Rowdy.

No brainer? Made me think a little.

 

[MagpieScouser]

phil carman , i never saw him play but ive been told this guy was just a freak,could do anything could rip a team apart in one quarter

 

[Jabso]

From what I've heard John Greening.

nah...prob Daicos, cos I never saw him play live, but, when your talking about bringing a player back, it would simply be "Pants" wouldn't it.

 

[Murray]

D.ick Lee
Albert Collier
Gordon Coventry
Lou Richards

 

[Johnson#26]

Millaine, Brown, Regan, Thompson.

 

[jimmy35]

Probably Daics or Len Thompson for mine.
Although rather than bring one back I would settle for slicing 10 years off Bucks birth certificate.

 

[Cyclops]

Harry Collier (brilliant goal scoring midfielder) or Bob Rose (ultra hard brilliant rover and great captain).

I think it all starts in the centre and a champion midfielder is what we need.

If we could put Tony Shaw's head onto Carman's body, it'd look pretty weird but he'd be one hell of a footy player.

No brainer? Made me think a little.

I have a one tracked mind when it comes to past collingwood players.

 

[bomber5]

Brad Rowe, Glen Sanford or Paul Sharkey, difficult to seperate these three champions.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I would say John Greening, because not only was he a magnificent player, but he never got the opportunity to play out a career, so if we could give him a second chance at that, we'd have to.

Darren Millane comes a close second under similar reasoning.

 

[Jumpin' Jimmy]

Billy Picken

If they had a vertical leap test back then the "Cotton Picker" would have won it easily.

 

[HorseHead]

Tough one, but Gavin Brown for mine, just ahead of Pants. A fully fit Ricky Barham, Peter Moore, Ronny Wearmouth and Rene Kink with the right mental attitude might also be contenders.

 

[The Majestic]

D.ick Lee
Albert Collier
Gordon Coventry
Lou Richards

^ Agreed.

I suppose it would depend on the positions, you could almost add one former player in each position of the ground and see how the team would be.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Gordan Coventry and Jock McHale as the coach.

 

[CarnthePies]

Betheras should have never got delisted in the first place lol

 

[Murray]

Gordan Coventry and Jock McHale as the coach.

Yep Jock as coach and Phonse as assistant coach

 

[McHale_Madness]

Oops

Good question but considering where we need the help most, ie in the middle, it would make obvious sense to bring back an on-baller.

I would love to see an injury free Daics back but more from a midfield point of view rather than in the forward line. He was magic in there until his legs let him down & would still snag plenty. The likes of Taz & Big Tone would be in 7th heaven with Daics sending the ball in (& occasionally spiraling over their heads through the big sticks - heh heh, I'm getting a bit nostalgic here!) lace out on the ******.

Before Daics however I would have to go for Bob Rose. I'm a tad suprised he hasn't had more mentions given his status amongst Collingwood greats. The fact that he is considered to be Bucks mark I (or perhaps Bucks should be considered to be Rose mark II) makes the decision an easy one for me. Imagine a side with the 2 of them giving all for the B&W.

Phil Carman

I should say Fab Phil the white booted wonder.
