On the golf course me and my mates still call out 5-eye when writing down our scores.

RIP Louie.

What an icon to the game. Was the voice of football when I first started following as a kid. Great memories and his quick one liners still make me laugh today.

RIP Lou the Lip

The league teams crew, Jack, Bob & Louie have moved to another level of the building! A level of rarified air, but all is well, the majestic trio are back together!

Lou Richards once said if he played like Rob Flower he would have won a million Brownlows! Sterling stuff!

And im sure wherever they are that buffet will have plenty of Don smallgoods, Hutton hams with Patra OJ to wash it down.

Wonder if theyve got their Gloweave shirts on to boot ( Julius Marlowe )

Youre with your beloved Edna Lou ❤️

Gloweave? Wasn't it Pelaco?

I'm sure he's credited by many ex-footballers working in the media as the prototype who blazed the trail which they've subsequently followed.

League teams who would miss it if you were lucky enough to be around at the time. And I suspect they may have had a few by the time they came on around 10.30 p.m as they started down at the Pheonix on radio when the teams were available around 8.30 p.m. 

Such chemistry when you look at the 3 wise monkeys, small man, motor mouth Lou, big enforcer, hardman, the less said the better, Jack Dyer and the Geelong Flyer Bobby Davis as the middle man with that amazing drawl and laugh. Great TV on a par with Roy and HG on This Sporting Life and above anything else produced on sport in this country that I remember. Yes WOS had great moments but it wasn't all about Lou and it didn't mean to be funny, though it always was due to production problems and the individuals involved.
