Tragic News: Collingwood Football Club Mourns the Passing of Their Beloved… see… more

The Collingwood Football Club is in mourning today after the sad news of the passing of former player Brian Turner. Turner, who played for the Magpies from 1964 to 1970, was a beloved member of the Collingwood family and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Turner’s playing career with Collingwood spanned seven seasons, during which time he played 143 games and kicked 14 goals. He was a talented and versatile player who was known for his speed, agility, and endurance. Turner was also a respected leader on the field, serving as vice-captain of the team in 1969.

Off the field, Turner was a quiet and humble man who was deeply respected by his teammates and opponents alike. He was a true gentleman of the game, and his passing has left a huge void in the lives of all who knew him.

“Brian Turner was a wonderful player and an even better person,” said Collingwood President, Jeff Browne. “He was a true Magpie legend, and his passing has left us all in shock. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Brian’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

Turner’s legacy at Collingwood extends far beyond his playing career. He was a pioneer for the club, helping to establish Collingwood as a force to be reckoned with in the Victorian Football League (VFL). His contributions to the club were recognized in 2012, when he was inducted into the Collingwood Hall of Fame.

“Brian Turner was a true legend of our club, and his passing is a tremendous loss,” said Collingwood CEO, Mark Anderson. “We will miss him dearly, but we will also celebrate his life and his many contributions to our club. Our thoughts are with Brian’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

The Collingwood Football Club will hold a memorial service to celebrate Brian Turner’s life and legacy. Details of the service will be announced in the coming days.
