Vale Father Bob Maguire
The Collingwood Football Club offers its sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Father Bob Maguire, who passed away today at the age of 88.
Father Bob first became known for his work with disadvantaged people in his South Melbourne parish and his commitment to feeding and housing the hungry and homeless of Melbourne.
This support was extended to Collingwood’s community programs.
The beloved social justice advocate and Catholic priest has been a Collingwood Member since 1974.
As an avid Pies supporter, Father Bob was a regular attendee of AFL matches in the Ponsford Stand at the MCG.
The Club acknowledges the impact Father Bob had on society – a man who committed himself to a life of faith and stood up for those most vulnerable.
Floreat Pica, Bob.
