selling his keepsakes The legendary AFL player Nathan Buckley has opened up about his pain at having to auction off some of the greatest keepsakes from his illustrious football career because of his “traumatic divorce.”
The Collingwood hero discussed the sad reality of viewing his memorable as ‘commodities’, with 200-plus items being sold as part of his costly separation from ex-wife Tania Minnici, who he split from in 2020.
Among the items on offer include his grand final jersey from his best-on-ground effort in Collingwood’s 2002 defeat against Brisbane.
is whole collection of memorabilia was divided between the two after their separation, and he was forced to pay an undisclosed sum to get his 2002 Norm Smith Medal and 2003 Brownlow Medal. He told the Herald Sun, “In the game, you do collect a bit of stuff from a lifetime, and these items are the sum of the last 30 years in footy.”
