About Jack Shorten

  • John 'Jack' Shorten (30 November 1887 - 9 October 1958) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Shorten was the centre half back in Collingwood's 1910 premiership team.
  • His involvement in a second half melee kept him out of action for the entire 1911 season as he received a 28 games suspension for striking, exactly the same punishment handed out to Carlton's Percy Sheehan.
  • It remains the longest suspension ever for a Collingwood player.
