Peter McKenna (born 27 August 1946 in Brunswick West, Victoria). At his peak, Peter McKenna could lay claim to being the most popular footballer in the VFL – and, indeed, given the burgeoning impact of the mass media, almost certainly the most popular footballer ever in Australia up to that point. Not only was he a highly successful full forward playing for the nation's most popular sporting club, Collingwood, he possessed a Beatle-esque 'look' which, by the standards of the time, was an ad man's dream. During this time, he recorded his first pop single ''Things to Remember'', written by Melbourne singer/songwriter Colin Buckley. This was followed by another single ''Smile All the While'', written by Johnny Young.
