The Official Collingwood Illustrated Encyclopedia
Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation
The Official Collingwood Illustrated Encyclopedia 2012 by Glenn McFarlane and Michael Roberts packs 256 pages of black-and-white and colour images into a sturdy hardback with its original dust jacket. Updated and revised from earlier editions, this chronicle charts Collingwood Football Club’s highs, controversies and characters in a single, coffee-table volume that invites endless browsing.
Every era of the Magpies is here: the 1920s powerhouse, the 1990 resurgence and the 2010 premierships. Biographies, match reports and rare photographs make the book a go-to reference for trivia nights or quiet afternoons reliving famous finals. Handy sidebars on club legends, records and VFL/AFL context turn casual fans into walking encyclopedias.
The copy is clean, crisp and free of dog-ears, coming from a smoke-free home. It carries a neat gift inscription on the flyleaf—ideal for personalising a present without affecting readability. No ex-library stamps or marks, just tight binding and bright pages ready for immediate enjoyment.
Perfect for Collingwood die-hards, Australian rules collectors or anyone hunting a nostalgic slice of local sporting history. Slip it onto a footy lover’s shelf and watch match-day conversations spark to life.
