Old footballers will regret to learn of the death of Jack Monohan, the former Collingwood (V.) player, which occurred on Monday after a long illness.
He was one of the earliest players in the Collingwood team when it first entered senior ranks. He was with the club for 16 years from 1891 [sic., 1893], and was one of the best players of his day, either as a half-back or a follower. He represented Victoria several times in interstate matches and was captain of the Victorian teams in 1900 and 1900. Later he played with Brunswick in the Association competition. After giving up the game he was for many years a goal umpire in the League.
His son, Cliff Monohan, who played one game with the Collingwood senior team, and played in the second 18 for five years before transferring to Preston, was better known as a cricketer, making many good scores for Collingwood in pennant matches.
