A man with an infamous kick and infamous name.
At least he murdered the opposition!

Totally underestimated - Surprisingly skilled, somehow good when it counted. Unique.
Big lug comes to mind, but that doesn't describe his football.
An all-time favorite

Loved big Jim. Lunatic but effective.

I remember saying once that we would never win a premiership with him in the team. Clearly I had to eat my words.
He is the reason why I cut players more slack if they don't appear to be up to it..

I had a mini-heart attack when I saw this thread next to Ginnivan’s serial killer one and thought this was about the other Manson.

I remember reading that the year before we recruited him, Manson took 17 marks in a senior game. That was what caught the eye of Collingwood.
