Answer 1

I'm thinking of Jim Jess for Richmond,I'm sure he was called the grey ghost

Answer 2

The answer to this is Jim Jess of Richmond, Here are his details:

An ebullient, larger than life character who played football with verve, persistence and no small amount of 'devil', Jim Jess was a firm favourite among Richmond fans throughout a 223 game VFL career that ran from 1976 to 1988.  Known as 'The Ghost', he excelled in both defensive and attacking key positions, often during the course of the same game.  Probably his best and certainly his most eventful season was 1980, when he was a major driving force behind a Richmond surge to the premiership that culminated in a 23.21 (159) to 9.24 (78) grand final annihilation of Collingwood.  That same year saw Jess make the All Australian side after 3 vibrantly effective performances for the 'Big V'.  Powerful overhead, and a prodigious kick, Jess, who was loathed as much by opposition fans as he was loved by Richmond's, was a major draw-card during a period when VFL football was declining in popularity.   His loyalty to the Tigers was amply demonstrated late in his career when he agreed to accept reduced match payments in order to help the cash-strapped club.
