Collingwood mourns the passing of ex-player Con Britt.

Recruited from the Ballarat Football League before debuting in 1966, Britt played 110 games for the Magpies before he was forced into retirement at the age of 26 years due to a knee injury in 1973.

"Con Britt was a skilful player who spent most of his career across the half forward line and along the wing. He was fast and strong with his attack on the football impressing Collingwood supporters," Magpies president Jeff Browne said in a statement.
