Albert Collier

Albert Collier, also known as Leeter Collier (9 July 1909 – 22 February 1988), was an Australian rules footballer in the (then) Victorian Football League.

Collier was a powerful centre half-back and a vital part of 'The Machine', the 1927-1930 Collingwood teams who won four premierships in a row. This feat has not been repeated to date.

At the height of the Great Depression Collier left Collingwood to coach Cananore Football Club in Tasmania, winning the William Leitch Medal in 1931. He captain-coached Camberwell in the throw-pass era VFA from 1945 until 1946, earning acclaim for building and leading the team to the minor premiership and a losing Grand Final in 1946.

Collier won the Brownlow Medal in 1929. In 1996 he was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, and was named at centre half back in Collingwood's Team of the Century.
