Summary

Description
English: A statue of John Coleman outside the MCG.

The sign next to the statue says:
John Coleman was a champion full-forward who played 98 Victorian Football League (VFL) games for Essendon between 1949 and 1954.

In a remarkable career cut short by a serious knee injury, he kicked 537 goals (including 12 on debut) and was renowned for his high-flying marks. He was his club's leading goalkicker in each of the six years he played and led the VFL goals tally on four occasions.

He played in two premierships at Essendon (1949 and 1950) and later coached the Bombers for seven seasons, leading them to premierships in 1962 and 1965 before passing away aged 44 in 1973.

His achievements earned him selection in the AFL Team of the Century and induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

Since 1955, the year after Coleman retired, the John Coleman Medal has been presented to the VFL/AFL's leading goalkicker.
