The Collingwood Football Club was born out of the worst slums in Melbourne, yet grew to be arguably the most famous football club in the country. It was founded on a sustained and passionate grass roots campaign in the late 1880s for the suburb of Collingwood to have a senior football club bearing its own name.
Local residents, community and business leaders and politicians all hoped that having their own football club could help bring a measure of pride to a downtrodden suburb. The team wore black and white striped guernseys, and were known as the Magpies, from the very beginning. They played at Victoria Park - a ground that Collingwood would call home for more than 100 years.
