Collingwood are a phenomenon! they led the premiership table (ie: most flags) for 60 years spanning the greater part of the century, more than the other 15 clubs put together, this total domination over many generations has scarred the football psyche for all time and has made Collingwood unique in it's rabid supporters and detractors
Nearly all the flags were in the years of the knickerbockers.
This makes better and more fun reading..........Kept a legion of fans amoused for years.
