Universal Love Lou Richards passes away (all tributes to the legend)

[DuckToaster]

The Carlton game must of been the last straw.

R.I.P, absolute legend.

 

[MightyRoar]

RIP great man

 

[Punt rd end]

Vale Lou Richards one of my favorites

 

[frizzle]

Jack, Bobby & Lou now all gone

Rip Lou.

 

[JB1975]

Legend of the club, and a legend of the game no matter what the AFL decrees.

A piece of football passes. RIP.

RIP LOU.

I hope there is a grand funeral through Collingwood around Vic Park, much harder these days with the traffic, i know my Grandfather who was born and bred in Collingwood was returned to St Josephs in Collingwood for his funeral, he was living in the country at the time, but it was the 1970's and traffic was much less.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Sorry to hear the news, i can imagine how this will effect all woodsmen as he really was "collingwood"

On a lighter note, i hope Jack enjoyed his few years of peace and quiet because that just ended today

 

[69vintage]

Sorry for your loss of a icon of the game .
Back with Bobby and Captain Blood .
RIP LOUIE THE LIP .

 

[jezzajay]

With all my dislike of the magpies...I still love this bloke!
What a champ and character!
Condolences to family, friends and Collingwood FC!!

RIP Lou...you will be missed.

How sad.
If the players can't lift for Lou then they should all be sacked.

 

[Soups]

I am too young for the Lou era but I know how import this guy was to Collingwood and the football community. He bled it.

RIP Lou.

 

[Kilmo]

R.I.P. Lou

Side By Side We Stick Together

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

I remember as a boy going to watch Lou eat a bucket of spaghetti in Lyon Street after he lost a bet. The man brought fun to footy, will be sadly missed

 

[NBates]

Good old Lou - God love him. Now up arguing with Jack Dyer over a beer or two. EJ probably too. Thoughts with all Collingwood fans and his family.

Vale Lou.
You don't have to be a Collingwood supporter to love and respect all that Lou brought to the game. He was an absolute icon and character of the game.

I loved his cheesy gags.

 

[PieBeast]

Out and out Icon of the game.

Vale Lou

 

[The Dawes]

Legend is a word used too often these days but it seems grossly inadequate to describe the impact Lou had on footy.

RIP to a genuine titan of the game and the club

 

[Unknown Identity]

Sat about 10 rows in front of him for the 2010 GF replay, gave the great man a hug after the final siren, we both had tears in our eyes.

Farewell Lou.
Absolute gentleman of the game. He was a 1 in a million.

 

[Smoky]

Lewis Thomas Charles Richards.

A Collingwood Champion... a Peoples Champion.

Thanks Lou for everything, you spent you life making all of our lives brighter.


Side by Side Legend.

 

[jjsmitty8]

Love us or hate us, no one hated Lou Richards. An icon of our club, an icon of the game. RIP Legend

RIP YOU LEGEND

 

[Runk]

Vale Lou. You were a bloody ripper.

 

[3066]

Oh my ..... so sad. R.I.P

I remember the thrill of seeing Lou when I was a kid at VFL Park when he walked past me down a flight of stairs.

I was also lucky enough so score a corporate dinner ticket to see Pies vs Crows pre-season GF 2003 where he celebrated his 80th. Such a lovely man. Everyone wanted a photo and he accommodated.


R.I.P Lou.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

That sucks.

RIP

Newman will be gutted on TFS
