Very sad to read about the passing of Billy Picken and Con Britt.
Billy was a Collingwood champion, who was a spectacular CHB. The original high flyer who would regularly take a mark of the day contender, like we see with Howe of the present times. I remember him as a dashing defender who would create attacking drives forward with his runs through the middle of the ground.
I also remember when he left to go and play with Sydney, l was young at the time, and to me it was unbelievable that Billy Picken left Collingwood. He did return though....
Deepest condolences to the Picken and Britt families......
