Peter Daicos

Peter is best known as the most talented forward pockets of his generation. His ability to kick goals from obscure angles also made him one of the most exciting players to watch.

He soon became affectionately known as the “Macedonian Marvel” and his distinct “mullet” hairstyle was his trademark. Peter debuted with Collingwood in 1979 and went on to play 250 with them until his retirement in 1993.

Peter had his best season in 1990 when Collingwood won the Premiership after many years of waiting. He was also the first to kick a goal for Collingwood in the same game.

He was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and was elected in the AFL Greek Team of the Century in 2002.

After retiring from football, Peter coached a local club called the Greythorn Falcons and in he coached them to Premiers in the 2006 Grand Final.
