CONGRATULATIONS AS HIS EXHIBITION LAUNCHED AT COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB…
Melbourne, Australia – The Collingwood Football Club has launched a new exhibition honoring the legacy of former player and coach Nathan Buckley. The exhibition, titled “Nathan Buckley: Magpie Legend,” was officially opened at the Collingwood Football Club Museum on Friday.
The exhibition takes fans on a journey through Buckley’s remarkable career, from his early days as a young player to his successful tenure as coach. It features a range of memorabilia, including jerseys, medals, and photographs, as well as interactive displays and video footage.
“We are thrilled to launch this exhibition, which celebrates Nathan’s incredible contribution to our club,” said Collingwood President, Jeff Browne. “Nathan is a true Magpie legend, and we are proud to honor his legacy in this way.”
Buckley, who played 260 games for Collingwood between 1993 and 2007, was a key figure in the club’s success during the 2000s. He later went on to coach the club from 2012 to 2021, leading the team to several finals appearances.
“I am humbled and honored to have this exhibition dedicated to my career,” said Buckley. “I am proud to have been a part of the Collingwood Football Club for so many years, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story with the fans.”
The exhibition is a must-visit for any Collingwood fan, offering a unique insight into the life and career of one of the club’s greatest heroes. It will be open to the public until the end of the 2025 AFL season.
“We hope that this exhibition will inspire a new generation of Collingwood fans and remind them of the rich history and tradition of our great club,” said Browne.
The Nathan Buckley: Magpie Legend exhibition is open daily from 10am to 4pm, and admission is free for Collingwood members and $10 for non-members.
