Lou Richards - cookie2 - 05-08-2017
Just heard of the passing of Lou aged 94. RIP.
He was one of the commentators I first heard when I started watching footy. Very sad to hear this news.

Captain Blood, The Geelong Flyer and Louie the Lip, absolute classic TV, was my intro to the VFL. Rip Lou, should've been elevated to Legend status before his passing....

Wouldn't you love to be at the 'League Teams' reunion this week, with the 3 originals together!!
R.I.P Trailblazer, original, one of a kind.

Brought the game to life through his commentary....current lot commenters not in the same league.
Sadly unlikely to be another like Lou.
RIP

I used to have the odd beer in the Phoenix and Lou was a great publican, very friendly and had no airs and graces despite being a legend of the game for Collingwood. It was impossible not to like him, even if he was a dirty little mongrel as a player.
He did so much for the game, particularly on World of Sport and League Teams, and will be sadly missed.
RIP

There will never be another commentator as good as Lou.
Apparently wasn't a bad footballer either.
RIP.

Loved Lou, grew up watching him and his shenanigans. He loved to hate Carlton but he loved footy and it was infectious. Top bloke.
RIP
