I just watched this for the first time. I'm a lifelong North Melbourne fan and even though I hate Collingwood, this brought a tear to the eye. The man is a national treasure and I loved watching him on tv and hearing his iconic voice calling the games. Many happy memories came back watching this. Thanks for posting. RIP Lou.

This bloke was an absolute legend. His skills in the commentary box on Channel Seven's Match of the Day were singlehandedly responsible for riveting me to the game of Australian football.

Respect to Tony Jones for that tribute, both the recorded piece for the first 10 minutes, and the heartfelt live piece at the end with perfect diction.

Watching Lou and the mob on Sunday morning World of Sport was a weekly ritual in the 80's. He was such a character in the old school sense of the word....(think Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton )...something that over-produced TV sadly lacks these days. The sets that would fall over, the spontaneous jokes and banter, back when there was time to let things brew, and every micro second wasn't managed and polished on TV.

God Bless you Lou, you were an icon to our great game. A great Australian and one who bought Aussie Rules into my life as a young. Watching the VFL replays here in Perth listening to Lou, Bobby Skilton and Peter Landy is one of my great memories. A great story-teller, a TV star, a football star and all-round legend. I hope he meets again with his beloved Edna, Captain Blood, EJ and Bobby Davis and rests in peace forever.

Heaven for me would be an eternity of Saturdays watching Aussie Rules called by Lou, Peter Landy and Bobby Skilton, with World of Sport on Sunday with Louie again and Captain Blood, Ron Casey, Uncle Doug, EJ, Tangles and the wood chop, the four&twentys's etc. An era gone but never, ever forgotten. RIP mate.

For someone who was collingwood through and through, listening to his commentaries you wouldn’t know what team he supported. Very unbiased

volunteering for the RCH Good Friday Appeal I was once stuck in a lift with him; he asked my name and when he heard it he immediately advised that his grand father and great grandfather were PANAMOPOULOS

Was it Frank Hyde that Lou had a disagreement with over which was the better code - Rugby League or Australian Rules Football? Pretty sure to people north of the border he was referred as the mouth from the south.

TJ sucked up to Lou from day 1. I respected Lou Richards as a fair minded commentator compared to his offsider Peter Landy who was a complete FIGJAM.
