Lou Richards... We love you

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Is there anybody else more loved in the football community more than Lou???

Forever the perennial joker Lou always seems to make us smile and laugh...

Well deserved honour in being Inducted into the Sport Australian Hall of Fame

 

[Kevin_Cat_Prime]

He's a champ.

Remember the friday night banter/tips between him and Sam Newman on nine news sport in the late nineties?

 

[hawks_time]

Cheese, thought he'd died or something because of the thread.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Don't do that to me! I thought something terrible had happened

 

[N i B]

Did anyone see the front page of the Herald Sun today....Lou's doing all right for himself

 

[I'm the Juggernaut]

I don't love him - think he's an embarassing old tool

No doubt. Am I right in saying despite him being inducted in the Australian Sport Hall of Fame, he isn't in the AFL Hall of Fame?

 

[The King of Leon]

How funny is he for an 84 year old, loved watching him on the sunday footy show this year, always makes me laugh when he gives it to all the players in the handball about not being as good as he was, then when he bagged Tyson Goldsack about a recent loss Tony Jones asked him, "So Lou, you telling us you never played in a loss?" and Lou's classic response was "No, I wouldn't stand for it, if we were losing I would walk of the ground"

Yeh he is one silly old bloke Richards. He is not funny and the things he does say to get some laughs are not the kind of things that make laughter.

 

[bluesforever]

I find him funny sometimes, he's an ornament to our game. I think it's great he still gets on the tele. He'd probably be an cranky old bastard if you met him though.

I think he is in the Hall of Fame, just not in the Legends category.

when i lived in Melbs for a year i bumped into him in the city and he was walking by himself. As he walked past i said "Gday Lou" and he actually stopped and chatted for a minute and was a champ. Very funny bloke.
Sad to see him losing it a bit now with age but will be remembered

 

[ams4crows]

for moment there I thought this thread was gonna anounce that he died!

how old is Lou these days!

 

[chubbspeterson]

What a champ! Cracks me up on the footy show. The funniest was when he said Garnier Fuctus instead of Fructus - classic.
Saw the lucky guy gettin a kiss from Steph Rice in the Herald sun today.

 

[gbug]

Classic Lou right there. So quick with the comeback!
God bless him!!!

 

[daffo]

I like him, but you can see on the Sunday footy show over the last couple of years that his health has gone downhill. I think his got two-three years left.

 

[Beckers]

Don't do that to me! I thought something terrible had happened

Me too! Lou is a legend Glad to hear nothing has happened.

Saw Lou on the Sunday footy show a few weeks ago and thought that the inevitable might no be too far away unfortunetly.

To that guy that said he is embarrasing, what a disgrace!

 

[scotty4]

yes he did look a bit worse for wear didnt he

Spoke to him a while ago. Sad as it is he's not as with it mentally as he once was.

 

[blues4flag]

Thought his interview yesterday at the SAHOF was hilarious.

Looked affronted when the host ended the interview and the highlight video of the next nominee went up.

 

[favourites]

it was like he took over last night, classic.

 

[Super Goalie]

how old is Lou these days!

[tonk]

A great character, used to love him on league teams with Bob Davis and Jack Dyer.

You disrespectful rectal prolapse initiator!!!!

 

[smasha]

Jack Dyer and Lou Richards on WOS back in the day were awesome.
