AFL memorabilia: Who is John Coleman?

The most recent release of video clips featuring AFL's hall of famer, John Coleman, during his prime brings back great memories of passion and enthusiasm he created for the game. You can see his career highlights on any AFL memorabilia you will find.

John "The Prodigy" Coleman is the former team captain of Essendon. He was the youngest player to ever play in the professional league. He joined under 16- Australian football division at age 12. During his high school years, he joined in the Mornington Peninsula League-one of the biggest leagues in Australia.

He also joined Same Olds in 1949. In his debut, he had a record of 12 goals in the first game of home and away match of the season. His first spectacular goal was also his very first attempt in the league. John wasn't really physically strong. It was his finesse that attracted many scouts and club managers. His skills and abilities were exceptional. He was also one of the fastest players in the field, he can change pace anytime he wants. He was also a great kicker. He can easily score on flat punt kicks and penalties. He was an all-around player.

Coleman's style and passion for the game

John Coleman had his own style. In some of his games, you can see his long-sleeved number 10 jersey. His sleeves often rolled up to the elbow just like a blue-collar worker. He was also the "father" of footie's aerialist and often leaps out of a pack for unopposed marks. His style has also influenced many sports fans all over the world.

Coleman still holds the record for the most number of goals in a rookie season. In a relatively short time, however, he suffered a career-ending knee injury at age 25. Even so, he still earned the respect of fans and critics.

The Prodigy is also known for his passion for the game. He never backed down even when he was pitted against four or five defenders. He usually commits foul for excessive physical contact. He was also penalised for dangerous fouls and from taunting spectators. He hit a fan once who was mocking him during halftime-this is where he got his alias, "The Prodigy." You can still check out his highlights from online videos or any AFL memorabilia.
