Since 1995, the Essendon and Collingwood football clubs have come together on Anzac Day to honour the many servicemen and women that have so bravely defended our country. Remarkably, the annual blockbuster clash has nearly always lived up to the occasion, providing footy fans with many unforgettable moments and showcasing some of the game’s brightest stars at their very best.
This year marks the 15th Anzac Day clash between Essendon and Collingwood and to commemorate the milestone, The Slattery Media Group and Essendon Football Club have produced Badge of Honour, a 100-page souvenir magazine. Proudly endorsed by the Anzac Day Appeal, Badge of Honour features a pictorial history of the players and coaches that have made the Essendon-Collingwood Anzac Day game such a special day on the AFL calendar.
It also names the best-combined Anzac Day sides from 1995-2008 for both Collingwood and Essendon, includes match reports and statistics for every game, and football writer Jim Main pays tribute to the League footballers who died defending our country.
Relive the most memorable Anzac Day moments and stars, and discover what the special day means to the players and coaches lucky enough to have been involved.
