Kiss of Death

Lewis Thomas Charles "Lou" Richards, MBE (15 March 1923 – 8 May 2017) was an Australian rules footballer who played 250 games for the Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1941 and 1955.

He captained the team from 1952 to 1955, including a premiership win in 1953. He later became a hotel manager and a highly prominent sports journalist in print, radio and television for more than 50 years, and he was known for his wit and vivacity.

As a football tipster, Richards was known as a Kiss of Death and regularly backed up his tips with famous dares: "I'll cut Teddy Whitten's lawn with nail scissors" or "I'll jump off St Kilda pier.

While I’m going to stop short of any such crazy dares, please see the likely fields and winners for this weekend’s massive carnival in the west.

APG eligible horses have now won more than 60 million dollars in APG races over the last 34 years, and this massive investment will continue for the years to come.

Please join us at the Magic Millions Sales Complex, 2/56 Dale Road, Middle Swan, WA on March 5.
