  Eddie McGuire
Eddie McGuire (born 1964) is an Australian journalist, sports broadcaster, TV game show host, businessman, president of the Collingwood Football Club, and one of the busiest people in Melbourne, where his presence in media, sport, and business is so ubiquitous he is nicknamed "Eddie Everywhere".
McGuire served as a football radio caller at Triple M[?], a station that had previously concentrated on wall-to-wall rock music, and wrote a football column for the Herald-Sun daily tabloid, as well as becoming involved in a variety of sports and media-related business ventures.
Eddie's activities spread still further when he became a prominent campaigner for Australian republicanism (the replacement of the British monarch as Australia's symbolic head of state), elected as a delegate to represent Victoria at the 1998 constitutional convention that led to the defeated 1999 referendum.

McGuire’s knockers (in a football sense) point out that Collingwood has finished 16th and 15th during his tenure and, despite the club’s stunning seven-figure financial turnaround this season, and his coup in luring Mick Malthouse, his members will turn on him if the Magpies fail again next season.

McGuire said almost three years ago that he would slow down once he had children, but the events of the past fortnight have done nothing to suggest that he will be walking out of our lives for some time.
