The Australian Football Hall of Fame was established in 1996 as part of the AFL's centenary celebrations. It is arguably the highest individual honour that can be granted to someone who has been involved with football, as it celebrates an entire career of outstanding achievement, rather than just one single season.
Many famous Collingwood names will be found on the list of inductees below, from early giants such as Charlie Pannam Snr, Jock McHale (pictured on he right) and Dick Lee, to recent superstars such as Dane Swan and Nathan Buckley.
Only two Magpies have ever been elevated to the highest level possible within the Hall of Fame - that of Legend. They are Jock McHale, who played more than 250 games and coached for a staggering 38 seasons, and full-forward Gordon Coventry, whose 1299 career goals stood as the League record for more than 60 years, and still remains the second highest tally ever.
