Stats
Bio
Recruited from Preston, Percy "Pen" Reynolds established himself as a stout defender for Collingwood throughout the World War I era. While he is often cited by historians as the uncle of legendary Essendon triple Brownlow Medallist Dick Reynolds, Pen carved out his own significant legacy as a dual premiership player for the Magpies. Operating primarily in the back pocket, he was renowned for his reliability and defensive discipline rather than attacking flair, providing a steady hand in the club's defensive unit. Reynolds played a vital role in Collingwood's 1917 and 1919 premiership victories, effectively retiring from VFL football as a flag winner after the 1919 triumph.
