- Scott Pendlebury Spotted Making X-Rated Comment
- Pendlebury was baffled by the fighter jets above
- The Pies veteran was playing his 16th Anzac Day game
Football great Scott Pendlebury was caught making an X-rated comment during the touching Anzac Day pre-match ceremony at the MCG.
Collingwood met Essendon on Thursday for the annual match on April 25, which has been a staple on the Australian sporting calendar since 1995.
Pendlebury, who is second behind Bombers legend Dustin Fletcher in Anzac Day appearances, made his 16th appearance this year and lined up alongside his teammates for the ceremony before the bounce.
Part of the pre-match ceremony includes the flight of fighter jets over the stadium, causing a great roar among those in attendance.
And although Pendlebury is no stranger to this sight, he was still surprised by the loud noise coming from above.
Scott Pendlebury was seen making an X-rated comment during the Anzac Day ceremony.
Pendlebury made his 16th Anzac Day appearance in the prestigious match against Essendon.
During the Australian national anthem, he was seen turning to fellow Pies star Steele Sidebottom and appeared to say, “I’m f**king myself,” referring to the planes in the sky.
In other surprising news, very few players sang the anthem, and only a handful of stars were seen saying the lyrics.
But Collingwood coach Craig McRae was shaken by the events that unfolded at the MCG.
‘That was incredible,’ he said as he choked up on Channel 7 after the ceremony.
‘Yes, just being there, present, is quite emotional to be honest.
‘Just a privilege, you know? Be grateful to be (here) on this day. I’m sorry.’
