Essendon VFL premiership player John Coleman has been honoured with a status in his name outside the home of sport, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He joins five other VFL/ AFL legends and other sporting legends to be immortalized. Before his career was cut short by a knee injury, the high-flying Coleman had played in two VFL premierships (1949 and 1950) and his achievements subsequently earned him selection in the AFL Team of the Century and induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. He later coached Essendon for seven seasons, including premierships in 1962 and 1965, before passing away aged 44 in 1973. inblackanwhite/2013/09/18/5514/
