Which club is Leigh Matthews most associated with?

[Taper]

Won shedloads of silverware as both player and coach, and is widely recognised as one of the greatest to have been involved with the game.

He is recognised as a legend at all three clubs he's been associated with and rightly so, but which club would you say he's most associated with?

 

[Meteoric Rise]

The club he is most associated with is the 3 club club.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

Hawthorn
Brisbane
Collingwood

 

[Underarm]

I think he's more remembered and had a greater impact as a coach, and his achievement is his 3 in a row at Brisbane.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Probably depends how old you are

 

[NetworkNerd]

One of only 2 players to average 20 and 3 in season. Legend

 

[carnthedons]

Probably depends how old you are

Yeah this

 

[The 747]

Hawks for mine.

For all his coaching achievements his playing career was more important.

 

[Jibroni]

Hawks, the day he knocked over the point post is one of the games most iconic moments.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Hawks

 

[BF Tiger]

The right answer is Hawthorn. The next correct answer is Hawthorn.

 

[Aphrodite]

 

[Cleansweep17]

Hawks by a mile

 

[Sherrinator]

Brisbane by a mile.

 

[Freddy Swift]

Hawthorn without a doubt in my book.

 

[M Malice]

 

[Peacock]

I would say Brisbane now.

Absolutely nothing to do with the modern day Hawks.

 

[Saint12]

Hawks, the day he knocked over the point post is one of the games most iconic moments.

Can't imagine anyone giving two s**** about that moment

 

[GoldStandard]

I'd say he's most known for co-hosting "The Furnace" with Tom Morris and Jimmy Bartel.

 

[crazywildhorse]

I reckon most under 40 associate him with Brisbane.

He seems to be more involved with them now anyway.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Some considered him to be the greatest to have played the game. Kicked nearly 1000 playing a lot in the midfield. Likewise one of the greatest coaches. I think his playing and coaching career combined is by far the greatest of anyone in the modern era.

But yeah, I guess now I associate him with Brisbane but as a player with Hawthorn.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Hawthorn daylight Brisbane daylight Collingwood

said to Leigh Matthew’s after winning the 3 cups.

You would be no good without us, Leigh,” Leppitsch said with a big grin. To which Matthews replied: “Oh well, Lep, I will just have to settle for being the player of the century, won't I?”

 

[HairyO]

I think he's more remembered and had a greater impact as a coach, and his achievement is his 3 in a row at Brisbane.

Because you think Dusty is the GOAT?

He was a very good coach. He was the best player ever.

This.

Hawks and Brisbane though.
