Montgomery, in 1965, broke into the Collingwood side for the first time in round six and played every game for the rest of the year, including two finals.[2] He made 17 appearances the following season and played from the back pocket in the 1966 VFL Grand Final, which Collingwood lost by a point.[2]
After two more seasons at Collingwood, Montgomery embarked on a coaching career and was the first ever coach of Rythdale-Officer-Cardinia. He also spent some time as an assistant coach at Dandenong in the Victorian Football Association.[3]
