In a career spanning just 98 games, John Coleman kicked 537 goals averaging 5.47 per match. In a six season career, ended by knee injury, he won the VFL goal kicking 5 times and Essendon's goal kicking six times.

Herb lined up on him four times. John Coleman kicked 3, 2, 2 and 1 goal for an average of 2. Measured against one of the greatest of all time Herb's performances, indeed the performances of the entire Bulldog back six - Donald Henderson, Bryden, Martin, Whitten and Gallagher - are testament to their ability and commitment to the cause.

Condolences to the Henderson Family.

Herb must have been special player to curb Coleman. Wish there was more footage of this golden era and the club’s legendary players.

Are there any ‘54 players still alive?

There are 5 remaining players from our ‘54 flag, which includes Jim Gallagher, Ron Stockman, Angus Abbey, Don Ross and Doug Reynolds.
