Gordon Coventry is clearly the most prolific goal kicker in league history. In eighteen seasons he played 306 games, a club record that stood for sixty years. Coventry kicked more than 100 goals against every VFL club with the exception of Footscray. He won Collingwoods goal kicking 16 times and the VFL goal kicking 6 times. In thirteen consecutive seasons he kicked 50 goals or more and was the first man to kick more than 100 goals in a season. Gordon Coventry played a huge part in Collingwood's record four consecutive Premierships(1927,28,29,30) and for every season he played he would nearly always produce something extrodinary and that would etch its way into the record books.
