GOOD NEWS: Legend Peter Daicos Returns to Collingwood Football as a Co-Owner in His Monumental Announcement
In what can only be described as a defining moment in Australian football history, Collingwood legend Peter Daicos has officially returned to the club — this time not as a player, but as a co-owner. The monumental announcement sent waves of excitement throughout the AFL community and especially among the Magpies faithful, who still regard Daicos as one of the greatest players ever to don the black and white stripes.
Daicos, affectionately known as “The Macedonian Marvel,” made the stunning revelation earlier today in a heartfelt press conference at the AIA Centre. With his signature charisma, he spoke about his deep-rooted love for the club and his desire to contribute to its long-term vision both on and off the field.
> “Collingwood has always been home,” Daicos said. “It’s where I grew up, where I played my heart out, and where my sons have carried on the legacy. To return now as a co-owner feels like closing a beautiful circle. It’s more than business — it’s family.”
During his illustrious career, Daicos played 250 games for Collingwood between 1979 and 1993, scoring an incredible 549 goals and etching his name into AFL folklore. His spectacular skills, creativity, and passion made him a fan favorite and a key figure in Collingwood’s 1990 premiership triumph.
Club officials confirmed that Daicos’s new role will involve active participation in club development, youth programs, and long-term strategic planning, aiming to strengthen Collingwood’s legacy as one of the powerhouse clubs in the AFL.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of admiration and excitement, celebrating Daicos’s return and hailing the move as a new era for the Magpies.
> “Having Daicos back in any capacity is special, but as a co-owner? That’s iconic,” one supporter wrote. “No one embodies Collingwood spirit like Peter Daicos.”
With Daicos back at the helm, Collingwood’s future looks brighter than ever. His influence, experience, and deep emotional connection to the club promise to usher in a renewed sense of pride and ambition for players and fans alike.
Truly, this is not just a return — it’s the rebirth of Collingwood’s heart and soul.
