Billy Picken

Picken was still at school when he arrived at Collingwood in 1974 from Macarthur as a forward and developed into a talented centre-half back.

[2] Despite playing in four losing grand finals, Picken maintained his reputation as a finals performer and was recognised for his contributions when he was named in the Collingwood Team of the Century.

A notable example of his exploits was a spectacular mark in the 1979 grand final.

When Picken controversially moved to the Swans in 1984, he was hit by a succession of injuries for the first time in his career.
