They worked hard in their adopted country, but Saturdays were a time Peter and his dad spent together, when they went to watch South Melbourne play Australian Rules football. Peter grew to love the game and played his first game for Collingwood in 1979. A hugely successful football career followed with Peter retiring from the game in 1993. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs31346E4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs770278B\"\u003ePeter is still considered one of the Collingwood Football Club’s greatest ever players: kicking 549 goals and playing 250 games in his 15 year career at the club and earning a host of awards including playing in the drought-breaking 1990 Collingwood premiership. With a passion for the game, Peter followed his father's lead and shared that passion with his own children: from going to games, to sharing a kick of the football. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs31346E4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs770278B\"\u003ePeter's two sons have followed in their father's footsteps and joined Collingwood, with Josh drafted in 2016 and Nick in 2021, both joining the club under the Father\/Son rule.
