• Notes:
  “Strickland was one of the 40 players running around Victoria Park the day the Pies played their first ever game as a senior football club, back in 1892. The only trouble was, on that day, he was playing for Carlton. But a year later he crossed to Collingwood as an experienced leader, where he went on to become Collingwood’s first great captain and one of the pivotal figures in the club’s early years – helping save the Magpies from early extinction and eventually piloting them to a Premiership and into the VFL.” (forever.collingwoodfc.com.au)
