John Greening Biography

John Greening is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on December 25, 1950 in Burnie, Tasmania, Australia.

Such was his impact by 1972 that he finished the 1972 season with a 7th placing in the Brownlow Medal, despite only playing 14 games – an average of one vote per game, if the last ‘injury game’ is included in the calculation. In the Magpie’s round 14 (8 July) encounter with St Kilda he had suffered severe cerebral concussion as a result of a hit received during the game. The incident took place after Greening had taken the first mark of the game, he kicked the ball towards Peter McKenna in the goal square and was floored afterwards by St Kilda player Jim O’Dea. Greening, who was comatose for 24 hours and didn’t regain full consciousness for several days, was considered lucky not to die or at least be permanently disabled.

Greening attended Montello Primary School and Parklands High as he grew up in the industrial town of Burnie in northern Tasmania. Recruited by Collingwood Football Club, Greening moved to Victoria in 1967 aged 16, and attended Northcote High School. He made his senior debut for the club the following year in a game against Hawthorn and became a regular in the side, playing as a ruck rover, half forward, centreman and wingman. He played 94 consecutive games with the club until a major injury on 8 July 1972 during a game against St Kilda. His next game with Collingwood was to be two years later, a match against Richmond.
