What happened to Peter McKenna?
McKenna suffered serious injuries in the middle of that season when an opponent’s knee collided with his lower back while he was playing for the Reserves. He was transported to the hospital, where a kidney was partially removed. Even though that event halted his season, Collingwood moved him across Bass because he was eager to play again in 1976.
Peter Julian McKenna, one of the greatest full-forwards in the history of the game, made news once more in 1977 when he was traded from Collingwood to Carlton at the age of 30.
McKenna, who was frequently referred to as the “pop star footballer,” had played 180 games and scored a staggering 838 goals for the Magpies over the course of 11 seasons, but by 1975 he had lost favor at Victoria Park and was frequently playing with the seconds.
