Which AFL/VFL footballer was crowned a 'King' in 1981, and met the Queen in the same year.?

Question

I worked on radio and television with a 'Captain', and in my early playing days, I was a publican in various pubs around Melbourne. I played 250 games for my team and followed a family tradition; my uncle and grandfather also played and captained this team, arguably the most widely followed team in Australia. Who am I?

Answer 3

Lou Richards.

For such a small man, Lou sure makes a lot of noise! His nickname of the 'Kiss of Death' came from his abysmal tipping ability. Many coaches and players shuddered when he selected their team to win in the press, and his antics when his tips did not come off are legendary. Among some are- cutting a winning coach's lawn with nail scissors, having a bath in a horse trough in the middle of a Melbourne street, and piggybacking a 140kg ruckman down Collins St.
