Billy Picken (born 7 June 1956) is a former Australian Australian rules footballer who played for the Collingwood Football Club and the Sydney Swans. Picken arrived at Collingwood in 1974 from Macarthur as a forward but developed into one of the games finest centre-half backs. Despite playing in four losing Grand Finals Picken maintained his reputation as a finals performer & was recognised for his fine contributions when named in the Collingwood Team of the century. When Picken controversially moved to the Swans in 1984 he was hit by a succession of injuries for the first time in his career. He later returned to Victoria Park to captain-coach the reserves.
