Football

Minogue was considered a courageous, or perhaps reckless, centre half-back. On one occasion he sustained a broken collarbone playing for Collingwood Football Club in the first minute of the 1911 Grand Final and then played out the entire match.

He was the vice-captain of the (winning) Third Australian Divisional team in the famous "Pioneer Exhibition Game" of Australian Rules football, held in London, in October 1916. A news film was taken at the match.

Unhappy at Collingwood's treatment of his friend and former teammate, Jim Sadler, during the war, Minogue demanded a transfer to Richmond on his return from AIF service during World War I created ill feeling and he had to stand out of compe*ion for twelve months in order to secure the transfer.

Coach

In addition to playing at three VFL clubs he coached at five clubs – a record that has never been equalled.

Hall of fame

In 1996 Minogue was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
